Reviews
I took this course last year and it was a very welcome source of inspiration during a lockdown. The written instructions were clear and easy to follow, with good tips for getting over the hurdle of a blank page and filling the sketchbooks. I made several books using the different techniques taught. I was really pleased and enjoyed the course, which was excellent value.
I did this course last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. While a video is enjoyable I really valued the written and illustrated format because you could refer back to it and go through things again if needed so it was more relaxing than a video where you have to keep up with the demonstrations. I made several of the folded sketchbooks, simple concertinas and more complex ones with ingenious folding. I also did stitched and elasticated ones so got a dozen different books as a result and am still enjoying filling them all up.
I was very disappointed with this on-line course which I had assumed would be presented in video format and not written instructions as was the case. I would not have purchased the course if that fact had been disclosed from the outset. Not a lot of money tolosebutstill very disappointing.
