About the teacher:
Pru Quarmby has been making books and teaching hand-binding techniques for over 15 years. She has sold her creations at Salamanca Arts galleries, and at various markets and fairs including Deloraine Craft Fair.
There are so many techniques to learn to produce so many different styles of books – artists’ books, journals, family histories, limited edition books, and theme books for children, just to mention a few.
