This was a fabulous class, so comfortable, friendly, and at a really relaxed pace that made the whole day enjoyable. I learned about bookmaking and assembled the perfect high quality sketchbook that can be used for years to come. Highly recommended!!!! Definitely take this class!

I gave my wife a gift voucher for her birthday and she chose this class. We came to Edinburgh to have it together. It was a wonderful time and chat, and we really loved how our books ended up looking. Would definitely recommend both as an experience and as a way to get a unique souvenir!

Will was very welcoming, and very patient with us throughout the process despite each of us somehow messing up a different step along the way. He explained everything very clearly and in the end we came away with a gorgeous notebook. He was lovely to talk to and you’ll come away with lovely memories of a fun afternoon and a good chat. Ps. Liked Lord of the Rings the CORRECT amount.

We were given a warm welcome by Will and started with a cup of tea and a chat. We then got stuck in to making our book. Will, gave us clear instruction, both verbal and practical on how to build our book cover. We had a choice of Harris Tweed or Leather for the cover. The atmosphere was relaxed with Will helping us out when required. We love our books and would recommend this course to all.
