What is this course about?

This session provides an introduction to making simple book structures whilst supporting you to take a mindful approach to crafting books by hand. Mindfulness can be described as a process of paying attention, on purpose, to our present moment experience with kindness, self compassion , understanding and curiosity. You will be guided through the process of creating simple books structures using mindfulness meditations and practices to anchor your awareness. No previous experience of making books or mindfulness meditation is required, but participants will need a basic level of manual dexterity, required for measuring, cutting, folding, stitching and gluing.
