Workshops and Events

The London & South Region runs a year-round programme of workshops, demonstrations, talks and visits, most of them held in Kentish Town, north London. Our events are led by well-known binders and tutors from across the country and cover everything from foundation techniques to specialist structures. Whether you’re just starting out or have been binding for years, you’ll find something to learn and people to share it with.

Non-members are welcome to attend one event at the member rate. To attend further events, we ask you to join the Society of Bookbinders. Individual membership starts at £50 a year, or £30 for students.
