Leather Journals - Experiencing the Handcrafted Book

Our 'in-store' customers often talk about the 'experience' of visiting our store in View Street, Bendigo.  Some love seeing the old tools, some love the leathery smell and pretty much everyone that comes in loves to watch the process of a book being hand crafted or restored.

This experience is a little harder to achieve in the on-line world, but in our attempt to bring to our on-line customers what our View Street visitors talk about, we enlisted the talented team at Archivist Media Films to create this short video.

Feeling inspired?  You might like to come and learn the craft in a Beginner's Bookbinding Workshop or, to purchase a similar personalised leather journal just follow the link!
