Reviews
Bookbinding was an extremely fun activity to do whether solo or with family and friends. The instructor was very patient and kind in helping us get a finished product at the end of the session. Booking via Klook was also a seamless process.
Shi Hui is a lovely, patient and knowledgeable teacher. The workshop is relaxing and at the same time, I learned a lot on the how and what, with hands-on practice on binding a book from start to end. Highly recommend!
We had a great experience with the workshop. We were girlfriends, and we were just looking to enjoy ourselves making personalized binding books. We found it really fulfilling and meaningful as we made a book for ourselves. It is truly a nice gift to take away from the workshop. Highly recommended.
it was a really fun experience and I am someone who loves books, book binding and since I'm an art student as well, it is really a fun experience where I can enjoy how to make books the "traditional" way and have an experience to do it by myself. it is a nice small gift to people too.
Attended this workshop and it was an eye opener! The instructor (Shi Hui) is super knowledgeable about paper and book binding techniques and was a joy to learn from. Her instructions were clear and simple to follow as well!Love the handmade end product as well! Would highly recommend this workshop :) location: Conveniently located at Aljunied and a short walk from the station.
The instructor was absolutely detailed and patient, and the whole process felt so smooth and seamless. Everything was thought out, and I really enjoyed it.
Excellent workshop and very fun! The instructor is very thorough and friendly guiding us through the process, from crafting the sections/booklets to creating the covers and then stitching them altogether. The end product might not be totally perfect but at least you get to learn a new skill out of it!
Very unique experience in a convenient location. Shihui is very skilled in her craft and made it easy gorge us to learn.
Really loved this workshop. Instructor was helpful, gave clear instructions and was patient in helping when we got stuck. Location is convenient, near Aljunied MRT.
Really enjoyed learning how to bind my own leather journal. The instructor was clear and very patient and she was able to guide us throughout the process. Her studio was clean and very conducive to learning and relaxing at the same time. I’ll definitely try another workshop with her
