SoB/DB Joint Workshops 2022-23

Society of Bookbinders > Education > SoB/DB Joint Workshops 2022-23

2022-2023 Programme

In conjunction with Designer Bookbinders the Society organises an annual series of weekend workshops. These workshops offer structured, intensive learning from established teachers and are designed to stress the ‘hands-on’ approach where students complete a structure or technique following demonstrations from the teacher. The size of each workshop is limited to allow students to benefit from individual attention.

We’re delighted to be offering our 2022/23 series of DB/SoB Joint workshops and would like to say a big thank you to the tutors and all of you who have been so patient during the often-changed programme dates during the last year. We hope very much that our plans can go ahead.

DB/SoB Joint Workshops – 2022-23

Hooray! The new series of weekend workshops organized by DB and SoB is now in place and available to book.
These workshops offer structured, intensive learning from established teachers in a friendly and cooperative environment and cater for a range of abilities.
Course fees for each workshop are £185 for members of either Society, and £205 for non-members.

Full details are on the Societies’ Websites and here’s a quick glimpse of the series line-up. For more information or to book a place contact nesta.jointworkshops@gmail.com
