Lucy Hermans reviewed: Multi-section Case Binding

"Lina is an excellent teacher...fully explaining the techniques and reasons for them. I thoroughly enjoyed my day in this small group. I came away fired up to learn more from Lina, and develop my new found skills."

Carolyn & Sally reviewed: Multi-section Case Binding

"Went on this Book binding course with my sister yesterday. It was brilliant, Lina was very informative and knowledgeable and patient. Great to learn all the techniques and have a finished book to take home. The course went by quickly, relaxing and very enjoyable. Will definitely be making more books and looking at other courses that Lina does."

Elizabeth Cooke reviewed: Multi-section Case Binding

"What a lovely experience! A small group of four of us, we had such fun getting to grips with making our own A5 hard backed book, under the kind and brilliant tuition of Lina - from stitching the paper sections, making the hard cover after choosing our cloth and papers, and assembling everything to make our book, all the whole learning the techniques and how important to “measure twice, cut once”! The five-hour workshop flew by. Lina made it great fun and informative. Loved every minute and now want to make more books!"

Jill Lauriston reviewed: Learn How to Make a Hardcover Notebook

"I agree with everything Anne said about Lena's course. Lena's teaching really was excellent and the pack of materials she sent us in advance was too, as were the notes she sent to us afterwards. I love the little book I made. It was very good value for money."

"Lina is a terrific teacher. Zoom is not an easy medium to teach on but she made the group comfortable very quickly and her instructions were very clear and well paced. I learnt loads and I’m really happy with the notebook I made. The kit sent through the post was great too."
