We would love to meet:
* Community members, enthusiasts, and educational groups who could benefit from a lab in which to work together, network, socialise, and draw on the expertise of others
* People working within local industries looking to innovate in ways that require new skills, equipment and contacts
* Companies and consultancies that support innovation and prototyping, and who could provide training, support, leading to the sale of their services
* Innovators needing to produce physical prototypes to further their ideas
If this could include you, please help us maintain and grow Makespace by joining now, telling us:
* Who you are, and any company/group affiliation

Makespace Book Arts
Makespace, 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge, GBBring your books, works in progress, ideas, half-finished projects, favourite bindings, repair jobs, and paper-based ambitions. Come learn, make, repair, explore, and workshop them alongside fellow book enthusiasts.
No experience necessary. Just bring curiosity and enthusiasm.
Makespace Book Arts is a collaborative, learn-together group for anyone interested in bookbinding, book repair, zines, artists' books, journals, sketchbooks, DIY publishing, paper craft, and related book arts.
This isn't a formal class. Everyone is encouraged to share techniques, discoveries, resources, projects, and questions. Some sessions may focus on a particular binding method or topic, while others may be open project nights.
Whether you're making your first pamphlet-bound zine, repairing a well-loved paperback, rebinding a favourite book, or experimenting with a new structure, you're welcome to join us.
Event timings are serving suggestions only; individual tolerances for folding paper, sewing signatures, and discussing obscure binding methods vary.
This event is for Makespace members, but feel free to bring guests.For some inspiration and ideas of what we might learn together check out our Book arts slides here
