Gathered Thoughts: Bookbinding Workshop

Please note: this event will be held in person.

In this workshop, you will experiment with using found materials to create one-off booklets. Even amongst digital technologies paper still has an appeal. You will combine some of these everyday paper items with fresh sheets, and learn 2 simple bookbinding methods to transform the loose pages into curated, unique booklets. At the end of the workshop, you will have a collection of blank journals, ready to capture your ideas, dreams, drawings and thoughts.

Olivia is an illustrator and printmaker based in Glasgow, mainly working with analogue processes. Much of her work draws attention to fleeting atmospheres and unexpected moments of reflection; driven by observation, she explore how different elements come together to create multi-layered stories.
