Debbie N reviewed: Antiquarian book repair day

"A great day spent with an expert bookbinder! I'm new to bookbinding and was full of questions and project ideas. Stephen very patiently answered all my queries, gave me some fantastic tips and advice on setting up a studio, on papers, leather bindings, book repairs, plus a few tips and tricks of the trade. We crammed an awful lot into the day and I came home with a few things to work on for our next session. I can highly recommend!"

"I benefited from a fantastic 2 days of one-on-one tuition to restore a very large antique atlas. Stephen patiently coached me through a whole range of techniques and we more-or-less rebuilt the vast tome. I've come away with 'homework' and the skills to repair some more books. Highly recommended."

Alun Maddocks reviewed: Antiquarian book repair day

"A really hands on experience. Stephen was very knowledgeable and supportive. He clearly explained every stage in detail and regularly reinforced different stages. He kept examples simple and easy to follow, while being encouraging and helpful in explaining different techniques. A really good experience, very enjoyable and therapeutic. But beware this can be addictive and need to curb expectations until skill is embedded in memory ! A"

"Had a great day restoring my grandmother's story book from 1891. Stephen is an excellent teacher and good company. His workshop is a treasure trove of interesting books too. Definitely recommend this course "
