Chloe reviewed: Adventures in book binding with Ali Reeve

"I've done some bookbinding at home but this workshop was quite freeing, learning where you can "cheat" or break the rules to make some quick and easy books. It was very accessible for beginners and great to get so much done in a day. I would say that the environment was quite chaotic which didn't lend itself to a calming/relaxing atmosphere, and I found it quite stressful when the table started filling up with materials and tools and I didn't really have enough space to work. I think in that space, a maximum of 8 participants would work much better; it's not an expensive day and I would have happily paid more to cover the difference for a smaller class."

" Hi, appreciate your feedback greatly. We hope that our price makes it accessible to more people, to start their book binding journey. And the fluid teaching with introduction of additional materials is always in response to the students who may ask questions."

"An intense information packed day showing different techniques for this craft, taught well by the obviously experienced Ali who is thorough and patient. Done at a manageable pace despite the intensity ,resulting in the take home finished books which as Ali explains are reminders and references for use at home to have another go. A very enjoyable day at a very reasonable cost. Thankyou very much. "

Stamps Away responded:

" Thank you, it was wonderful to see you and I hope this is the start of a fabulous book binding journey and we hope to see you again soon."

Lesley Hope reviewed: Adventures in book binding with Ali Reeve

"A good crafting day for my daughter and myself. Many ways of working learnt and almost 5 books made. Perhaps 4 books would have been enough leaving time to be more precise with the last one and possibly time to play on and consider the cover decoration. "

Stamps Away responded:

" It was lovely to see you and I appreciate we all work at different speeds and the last book was the “your choice” book and after yesterday’s conversations you can see choices on how to create your books can be endless, and you can get totally lost in the process. But hopefully book binding will be a new craft to enjoy at your leisure and these will be the first of many books. Hope to see you again soon. "
