Basic bindings workshop with Terrie Reddish.
In this one-day weekend workshop with Terrie Reddish you will create a variety of workshop model bindings that you will be able to develop and explore at home later. This workshop will take place at Keirunga Creative Hub in Havelock North – perfect for a day out with a group of arty friends or for some creative ‘me-time’.
Participants will learn about the importance of paper grain and how to easily cut and fold paper. All bindings are non-adhesive; using clever slots and sewn thread to bind books and display ephemera. Come and have some fun!
