Bind Your Own Journal

Whether for writing your memoirs, recording a journey or a year in your garden, or as an artisit’s sketchbook – this three-day course will provide the materials and practical demonstrations to enable you to bind a journal and you will also learn a quick and easy script to use inside. It is a multi-section, soft binding with a rounded spine displaying a decorative ‘French Stitch’. There’s scope for the journal to hold a range of papers of different weights and surfaces, and to include pockets, fold-outs and windows. For those who would like to, there will be an opportunity to make a tunnel book, either within or separate from the journal.

Josie Brown has been a professional scribe, heraldic artist, and illuminator for over thirty years. She is an accredited tutor for the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society, a founding member of Gloucestershire Lettering Arts, and has completed commissions for the academic, public and private sectors. Josie teaches workshops and summer schools around the country.“An excellent and inspiring teacher, always encouraging” (Participant 2017)

Josie’s courses are very popular and limited to 11 places. Booking early is essential!
