A craft workshop will show you simple methods to make a set of tiny books that all fit inside a box.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Carole King is offering a masterclass at Cardiff\u2019s City Hall craft fair Made by Hand this Sunday where she will teach participants how to create their own mini books.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cAll the books are hand stitched from first principles and most are unique,\u201d she said.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>At the workshop people can use a variety of handcrafted papers, all designed and printed by Carole.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>She said it was the printmaking and using up of prints that hadn\u2019t worked as a fine art piece which had made wonderful book covers.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this year\u2019s workshop she is teaching 12 participants how to make mini books that will fit into a wedding favour box. \u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cAt workshops I find that people are astonished that they can make their own books with a bit of patience and guidance.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cHowever, they are surprised at how long it takes – a long day of work and concentration,\u201d said Carole.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>At the workshop participants will have two hours to learn the craft of creating mini books.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Carole has attended the craft fair three times over the last five years and she works with Make it in Wales who organise and run other workshops across West Wales.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nOverall, she runs six bookbinding courses each year, teaching simple sketchbooks to open spine and coptic bindings.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>In an official statement on the fair\u2019s website, Nick Capaldi, chief executive of Arts Council of Wales<\/span>, said, \u201cMade by Hand is about skill, innovation and ingenuity – the ability of the maker to use their best imagination to create beautiful objects that bring enjoyment and inspiration to our everyday lives.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Last year the craft fair was visited by 4000 people and a lot of them took part at the different workshops and masterclasses.<\/span>
