Library: Great Cornard Library, Head Lane, Sudbury CO10 0JU 30 December: Book Binding Workshop with Bookmaker Hazel Garrity Workshop details: Tuesday 30 December 2025 09:45am - 15:30pm Book Binding Workshop with Bookmaker Hazel Garrity In a relaxed, supportive atmosphere we will be making beautiful hand-crafted notebooks using traditional bookbinding techniques and tools. Follow step-by-step demonstrations and surprise yourself by learning new skills. You will create two unique books from scratch choosing from a range of colourful papers and adding your own special design details. The second book would make a great New Year’s gift for a friend or family member. Show your appreciation for someone important to you by making a book which reflects their personality and interests. All materials will be provided. About Hazel: Hazel's chief enthusiasms have always been words, books and making things. As a secondary school English teacher, she has worked with young people to give them the confidence to be creative with language. Now she wants to explore the possibilities offered by combining words with the traditional craft of constructing books in different forms and expressing ideas in different ways.

When your mentor provides a strapline it will go here
My chief enthusiasms have always been words, books and making things so bookbinding combines these elements perfectly. It's also accessible and fun. As a secondary school English teacher, I worked with young people to give them the confidence to be creative with language. Now I want to explore the possibilities offered by combining words with the craft of constructing books in different forms and expressing ideas in new ways. As a member of the Society of Bookbinders, I have been lucky enough to attend workshops with some expert professionals in this area and, although I'm not an expert myself, I know how satisfying it can be to create something unique and personal, using simple materials with traditional tools and skills. Far from dry and dusty, this is a fascinating world offering endless possibilities for self-expression.

I work at the Great Cornard Library and run a kids craft and story session on a Sunday. I am also an animal-loving pet portrait artist, who has tried my hand at most art mediums and crafts at some point!

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
