An immersive two-day seminar in Worcester Cathedral’s medieval library and archive for librarians, archivists, volunteers, and anyone working with collections of historic bindings who would like to understand more about the books that they handle. Leaving aside fancy decoration and the printed word, the course will focus on the structural features of bookbindings, their development over time, and the reasons they degrade. Participants will experience a variety of historic bindings first-hand. The course will also include sessions on materials and formats, and safe handling.

Studio open day, Saturday 4th July 2026, 1.00pm – 5.00pm.
