Jane Brearley reviewed: Beautiful Bookbinding

"Thank you Fiona for a wonderful day of bookbinding. I was absolutely thrilled with what I produced and couldn’t believe how much I was able to achieve in one day; all thanks to your expert tutoring, encouragement and patience. It was great fun to learn a range of traditional skills (some of which were nicely challenging and definitely rewarding) using such lovely materials. You provided a truly welcoming and friendly environment. Hugely satisfying and certainly inspiring!"

Sharon reviewed: Beautiful Bookbinding

"So enjoyed Fiona’s course. She is a warm, welcoming and patient teacher. I learnt so much about book binding with enough knowledge to continue making books at home. Lovely environment in Fiona’s studio and as it was a sunny day we had lunch outside in her lovely garden. Fiona offered refreshments, cake and homemade biscuits throughout the day. Well worth it! "

Sarah Garratt reviewed: Beautiful Bookbinding

"We had a fabulous day with Fiona! A really productive session; learning how to prepare and bind three different types of books. Fiona had a great selection of resources for us to use which meant that I ended up with three very different completed projects. A great day in Fiona’s delightful garden studio which has definitely inspired me to use my newfound bookbinding skills…… lots of new projects on the horizon now! "

Earthwise Ecoprints responded:

"I was lucky to have 2 half -day classes to myself. Fiona is knowledgeable and talented. We completed 3 different types of books and I have made some myself at home so Fiona gave me enough knowledge and skill to be able to do them on my own. Looking forward to her paper making classes next"

Earthwise Ecoprints responded:
