Bookbinding Workshop with Rowan Collinson Date: Tuesday 9 June 2026 Time: 9:30am – 12:30pm Price: £42 per person (All materials provided) As part of her June Artist in Residence programme, Rowan Collinson leads this hands-on bookbinding workshop, offering an introduction to traditional and contemporary bookbinding techniques used by artists, designers and photographers. Participants will be guided through the fundamentals of book construction, including perfect binding, saddle stitch and stitched signatures. The session will also explore sequencing, narrative flow and the varied ways artists use books and zines to present and contextualise their work.

The session forms part of Rowan Collinson’s June Artist in Residence programme, A Field Study: Documenting Four Seasons, which considers ecology, place and the quiet transformation of the landscape through sustainable photographic practice. Refreshments Tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits will be available throughout the morning.
