Continuing with our annual tradition, we begin with case binding! This hardcover technique offers a solid foundation for any crafter’s repertoire and can be adapted into a wide range of creative outcomes. This year, we introduce a twist: transforming the traditional case-bound book into alternative geometric forms such as triangles, pentagons, or trapeziums. No prior experience is needed; each step is thoughtfully guided to support your learning. Join us for a creative, hands-on experience you won’t forget.

Cost: R1350 (including all materials)

Light refreshments will be served. Guests are welcome to bring their own lunch or explore one of the many wonderful nearby restaurants and bistros around Oude Leeskamer at their own cost.
