I learned how to make a notebook using Japanese Stab Binding. It was very absorbing and fascinating to see the book come together. Freya , the tutor , was absolutely great. Her explanations and demonstrations were very clear. She has a marvellous sense of humour and was incredibly patient, never minding about showing me things several times! I came away with a lovely notebook that I am proud to use!
