Workshop Student Places:

To provide the expert level of tuition and guidance needed for delicate repair techniques, I offer only 6 student places on this workshop.

• Workshops are only suitable for anyone aged over 18, as craft knives are part of the kits being used, and will be essential for taking part in the workshop.
• Students must read and agree to the Terms and Conditions at the time of booking. This will be confirmed with you at checkout.

If this is the option you want to book, please book early to avoid disappointment, as there are no additional spaces offered once they are all taken.

What Book To Bring to the Folkingham Book Rescuers Club Workshops:

Please bring an A4 size book or smaller, as it will greatly help whilst you are learning how to carry out repairs, and give you the best opportunity to complete your project in the time we have, enabling you to get the most from all 6 workshop sessions.
