Sketchbook Diaries (Stapleford, Cambridge)

  • Helen Handmade Books Stable Studio 1, Stapleford Granary, Stapleford CB22 5BP UK (map)

Learn ways and tricks to document your life visually, using collage, hand lettering, illustration, maps and so much more.This packed workshop will give you the confidence to start recording not just the wonderful things that happen in life, but also the small details and the tricky moments. 

We all know journalling is good for our souls and peace of mind but not everyone can sit and write, some of us want to include drawings and some of us speak in images rather than with words. We’ll also cover sketchbook nerves and how to overcome that first mark on the page.

If you can draw, think you can’t draw, haven’t drawn for a while, then this workshop is for you. All levels welcome, everyone will learn something and take away a sketchbook and head full of ideas!

If you’ve been to one of Helen’s bookbinding classes then please bring one of your handmade books with you to use on the day.

Booking here.
