Charnwood Eco Hub Handmade Book Workshop

Join us on Wednesday November 18th 2026, from 4.30pm-6.30pm at Charnwood Eco Hub, 7-8 Baxter Gate, Loughborough, LE11 1TG for a creative, hands-on Upcycled Bookmaking Workshop, where discarded materials are transformed into beautiful, one-of-a-kind notebooks and sketchbooks.

Using reclaimed paper, fabric offcuts, packaging and other salvaged materials, you’ll learn simple bookbinding techniques to design and assemble your own unique book from scratch. This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike, and is all about creativity, sustainability, and giving new life to forgotten materials.

Expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, plenty of inspiration, and the chance to experiment with texture, colour, and form while reducing waste in a meaningful way.

Leave with a finished handmade book—and the skills to keep creating at home.
