About this event

25 April 2026 – 25 April 2026 4:00 pm
Bradford Industrial Museum, Heritage Craft Room

Join Linette Withers, a Yorkshire-based bookbinder making bespoke and book-related items inspired by the past, present, and possible futures.

Inspired by the past but not bound by it.

Learn the basics of craft bookbinding with multi-section case bindings. We’ll talk about materials choices and tools before you make your own notebook. We’ll go through choosing your paper, folding, and sewing, as well as how to finish your book cover. Whatever your tastes, this class will take you through making an A6 hardback notebook for you to take home.

Suitable for beginners but some previous craft experience is helpful. All tools and materials provided.

This workshop will take place in the new Heritage Craft Room at Bradford Industrial Museum. The class space has ramp access. Toilets are located either in the main building or in a toilet block between the class space and main building. There is a kitchen next to the class room for getting water and hot drinks, but please bring your own lunch. Snacks, hot and cold drinks are available to purchase in the main museum building.
