Get started with bookbinding, collage and typography art with Gemma Lawrence.
Try some creative ideas for people looking to start sketch-booking, scrapbooking or idea brain-storming in interesting and exciting ways.
These videos will show you how to first make your own sketchbook, then decorate it with typography and illustrate it with collage. They’re tasks to get you experimenting and trying new ideas, whilst also exploring your own and finding what works for you!
