Unleash your creativity and dive into the craft of bookmaking. Join us for a hands-on experience where you'll learn the art of binding, stitching and crafting your own unique book. From selecting materials to adding personal touches, discover the joy of bringing your stories to life between the pages at our inspiring bookmaking workshop.

Participants will walk away with a handmade bound book! Depending on the paper you bring, it could be a sketchbook or journal.

Bring your own papers for your book, blank or with text. Keep in mind the pages will be folded in half to make the book and we have the supplies to cut your pages to the size you desire. Be as adventurous as you would like in what paper you decide to bring! You are also invited to bring fabric or special papers to be your book cover. We will provide options but if you have anything specific in mind, please bring it along.

This workshop will teach coptic binding and will offer instructional videos for reference during the workshop (bring a phone or device if it's helpful for viewing) as well as handouts and in-person instruction. You are welcome to ask about other binding techniques as well.

There will be light refreshments, including Gateway iced tea. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks.

All levels of experience are welcome.

All ages are welcome. Youth 15 years old and younger must be accompanied by an adult. Children 5 and under are included in the price of a caregiver ticket. Please supervise younger children.

Please let us know if you have any accessibility needs and we will accommodate you.

Community Up-Skilling Events are a collaboration between Garden Juju Collective and Gateway Farm and take place at Gateway’s beautiful, abundant, permaculture-inspired, regenerative farm ‘hub’.

We warmly invite you to be part of these enriching events where together we can learn, grow and thrive.
