Lo-fi books

At the beginning of the month I ran one of the Manchester Craft Mafia’s Lo-Fi sessions

I taught a lovely group how to make some simple little artist books/ scrap books. the results were lovely using ribbons, buttons even old maps some beautiful books were created. for more of the finished books check out my flickr

Make books

On 1st March I will be running Lo-fi DIY

Making things happen!

On Tuesday 1st of March 6 till 9 at Common Edge St

Learn to make books

Using paper scraps and recycled bits and bobs I will be showing how to create small artists books, note and scrap books. Using maps, old envelopes, wallpapers, any spare paper! To create uniquely simple crafted books. Learn how to turn a piece of a4 paper into a scrap book in a few folds, make concertina books and learn simple book binding stitches.

All materials will be provided for which we request a £1 donation. But if there is any thing you would like to bring to use then please do. Turn a drawing into a book? Have some favourite gift wrap you don’t want to wrap with?

Common will take orders for our tea or whatever drinks and nibbles make take your fancy?
