Venice Personal Geographies: Mapped and bound! Fabulous flights of real and imaginary journeys. Inspired by Deirdre Kelly, the maps of Venice and coffee at the Sulla Luna bookshop. The challenge to bind the experience within the pages of a book….each one a triumph. Huge thanks to Kim, Tamara, Ingrid, Jaana and Emma for venturing into uncharted territory. Creating in La Serenissima is magic #venicepersonalgeographies #travelthroughbooks #thetravellingbookbinder #phrenologicalmapping #paperandinkadventures #extraordinaryexpandablesketchbookjournal

Condensing a joyous last Iona Driftwood Binding Retreat of 2024 into one minute was a challenge!

Huge thanks to Julie, Sam, Susan, Tiffany and Kerstin for your courageous achievements, to @greenshediona for hosting us, Pippa for feeding us…and all the island businesses that welcomed us. *Next* year’s March dates will be revealed in The Travelling Bookbinder’s newsletter! #ionadriftwoodbindingretreat #isleofiona #creativetravel #copticbinding #makeabook #abookofyourown

Grateful for an expansive, thoughtful, richly textured retreat with Melody and Jo. The second Iona driftwood binding workshop was a gentle delight. Kelp weaving, a mop brush, typewriter poetry, wax resist, lots of ink, torn edges, beach combing….Amazing food from Polly and Meg. So sorry for those whom illness prevented attending-we missed you. #ionadriftwoodbindingretreat #paperhazell #findyourinnerhebrides #islandretreat #travelthroughbooks #copticbound #thebookinsideyou
