Description

In this introductory workshop you learn how to make three types of handmade books - an accordion photo album, a soft-cover notebook and a book with Japanese stitching. (You'll also be given materials to take away to try some different Japanese stitches.) Because this is a half-day workshop, materials will be prepared for you in order to maximise the making! This friendly and informal workshop is aimed at complete beginners. There will be a maximum of four students and you can work at your own pace.

The Leaf Press is the studio name of surface pattern designer and papercut artist Suzy Dobson. I create colourful designs which I sell on stationery, wedding invitations and pictures. The Leaf Press was originally a bookbinding studio but has evolved over the years so that papercut style designs are my speciality. I have been teaching adults since 2009 and am very excited to have started offering workshops in my own studio in 2023. Students have described it as a 'bright, calming space' and with a maximum of 4 students you can be sure of a friendly and relaxed learning experience where you can work at your own pace but receive help when you need it. I look forward to welcoming you to a workshop and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

FAQs

Yes! Please ask about workshops for your event or workplace. I can run a simplified version of my paper cutting or handmade books workshop.

The workshop price includes materials, refreshments in the form of tea/coffee and cake/biscuits and handouts explaining everything we've covered during the workshops.

Unfortunately my studio is in a building without a lift, so you'll need to be able to climb a flight of stairs.

Workshops are held at my studio which is in the centre of Loddon. Loddon is mid-way between Beccles and Norwich on the A146.

Loddon is served by the X22/X21 First Bus which runs from Norwich to Lowestoft.

My studio doesn't have parking but there is a Pay & Display car park opposite the building. Alternatively you can park on the street but please be careful - it's quite a narrow and very well used road!

Please check the description for the workshop you are interested in. All materials are usually provided but sometimes I give you the option to bring paper, material, etc, so you have a design you'll love!

Workshops have a maximum of 4 students, so you can work at your own pace. They are designed to be friendly and informal so it should be a relaxing and stress-free experience!
