Bindery

The Bindery is where our art and design students can learn to create books and bespoke boxes and explore the fluidity of paper through sculpture or engineering techniques, guided by staff. From simple zines and sewn-section-bound hardcover books to complex brand packaging and large paper installations, students gain hands-on experience with processes in traditional and contemporary paper arts and crafts.
