Always passionate about books, Ellie's creativity sparks with the possibilities of artistic expression through handmade artist’s books, and the many techniques for creating content in them. She is also endlessly fascinated by unusual book structures, and loves pushing the boundaries of what a book can be.
What to expect
Ellie invites you to join her in exploring one of her favourite book structures – sometimes known as the ‘Australian reverse piano hinge’ book. You will warm up making a simple version of this intriguing and versatile binding, and enjoy gaining skills and confidence to make a more elaborate version.
There will also be a chance to try out some techniques to embellish your book.
Suitable for beginners or more experienced makers. Use of tools and all materials provided. For safety reasons this session is restricted to people aged 15 years and older.
