This 5 day course is for those studying all aspects of City and Guilds to come and enjoy, create, learn and work towards your goal.

All levels involve self directed learning as well as in-house. I will send you worksheet information on this when you are enrolled on the course. It requires time and patience to build up skill. I would say allow 30 hours for Level 1 but allow more if you can remembering you are on a journey with lots of delights on the way to be savoured.

Level 1 - 118 - making pamphlet and multi-section case bindings, using a variety of sewing structures, endpapers and cover materials. Students are required to make samples and journals, and compile research and other evidence for subsequent assessment. A presentation piece will be required, which can be a chosen favourite for being the best made so far, or a specially-designed book.

Level 1 - 119 - making different styles of photo albums using a variety of sewing structures and guards, endpapers and cover materials, and making and covering a slip case. Students are required to make samples of albums, slipcases, and compile research and other evidence for subsequent assessment.

Level 3 is part self directed and part taught and is a bit like an apprenticeship system and can be discussed on completion of the above two levels.
