9 November 2025 - Nesta Davies: Leather Work: Mosaic and Crumpled Onlays

Spend the day learning how to produce elegant and striking ‘Mosaic’ onlays.  A technique used to great effect by Design Bookbinder Sally Lou Smith in many of her bindings.  We’ll also look at how to create ‘crumpled’ onlays, which can add interesting textured areas rather than the usual smooth onlays.  Some experience in paring and working with leather would be helpful to get the most out of this workshop.
