Bookbinding: Creating a portfolio for loose A4 sheets

  • The Portico Library 57 Mosley Street Manchester, England, M2 3HY United Kingdom (map)

£85. Includes materials, tuition, tea & coffee on arrival and a sandwich lunch. Book via events@theportico.org.uk or welcome@theportico.org.uk. A £25 non-refundable deposit is needed to reserve your place.

Artists have long used portfolios to hold, protect and transport their work, however they are also useful for everyday filing, safely holding loose sheets in one place. They can be custom-made to any size - ours will be for holding A4 sheets. The strong outer case will be covered with an attractive decorative paper, protecting an internal expandable concertina pocket, all secured with a ribbon closure. 

We will be using glue so a protective apron is recommended.
