Summer Workshop at Otley Common
This is a 3-day creative workshop where children (and any participating adults!) will learn how to create a handmade notebook completely from scratch.
The sessions will explore; papermaking, marbling, and simple bookbinding techniques, transforming recycled paper and raw materials into beautiful, finished notebooks to take home.
The workshops are relaxed and hands-on, designed to encourage creativity, experimentation, and confidence in a calm and supportive environment. This workshop is aimed at children aged 5–10, with parents/carers welcome to stay and help throughout the sessions. Accompanying adults can also make their own notebook alongside their child by booking an additional ticket.
Venue: Otley Common
12th, 13th, 14th August - 10am-12pm
Tickets are £10 per session (£30 total for the full 3-day workshop), with all materials included.
