This hands-on activity will begin with short introductory examples exploring how physical books can help us unlock information about their creators, authors, and owners, followed by a hands-on activity co-designed by local bookbinder, Alexandra Marsden. Participants will learn how to decorate a book in a way that showcases their own tastes and interests. This event is aimed at children to foster an appreciation of books and reading. All materials will be provided.
This family-friendly workshop will be led by Book Historians from Northumbria University’s English staff, run in collaboration with The Shipley Art Gallery. This event is also part of the Inspired by Lindisfarne Gospels 2022 programme.
This event is part of Northumbria University's Festival Hub.
