Normally open by invite only, Fabrication Studios on Edward Street will be throwing open its doors which includes Anachronalia’s bindery and Dr Geof’s studio on the first floor. Set within a former carriage works the studios cover 3 floors and many heritage and contemporary craft disciplines.
Come make your own chapbook. Chapbooks were a cheaply produced and affordable alternative to the expensive fully bound books in Europe when early printing took off in the 16th-Century, reaching full popularity in the 17th-18th Century. A fore-runner to Zines they often combined simple woodcuts and text printed onto a single sheet and folded into a portable easy to produce pamphlet. Anachronalia will be offering the opportunity to bind your own chapbook in the style of an 18th-century chapbook, using historical techniques and a variety of woodcut-style art stamps created in collaboration with artist Dr Geof.
The workshop is a free drop-in activity and is suitable for ages 14+
