Paper Craft Workshop: Sewn Paper Books

In this creative workshop, take inspiration from the Teece Museum and design your very own books out of paper! Learn how to sew paper to make a book - a fun starting point for creating sketchbooks, journals, notebooks, and sharing stories. We will explore pattern and colour by making our own painted paste papers to use as decorative covers and end papers.

Participants will learn several book designs and there will be plenty of room to customise your books.
