Book binding at CUTS

I recently went on a book binding course run by CUTS (communal use textile studio) in Liverpool. The course, hosted at MelloMello, was run by Beccy Williams and was amazingly only £20 for the day! I got to choose from recycled, vintage and new paper, and was able to take my lovely book home at the end!

I put purple thread through the centre of mine to pull together the colours in the vintage papers I'd used.
Envelopes make lovely little pockets inside a book.

It was a soft back, we just used everyday cardboard as it's strong, but flexible enough to bend.
Below are some other photos I took inside the studio..





For more information on the course and others they run (they also do screen printing and various textile courses as well as hiring out their space) you can email Beccy at cuts.liverpool@yahoo.co.uk, or visit the website here.
