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, Shi Hui is extremely patient and professional. I enjoyed the workshop very much. The class size is small. The quality of materials provided is of high quality. Her instructions and demo are easy to follow even for a beginner as she prepared templates.

Review for: French Link Stitch and Coptic Binding

Attended the French Link x Coptic workshop, the instructor was incredibly patient and supportive even when watching me trying to trend a needle like someone who clearly shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects. She provided a relaxing space for learning and shared her knowledge generously. Left with a finished book and a newfound interest in the craft :)

Review for: Case Binding

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.

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!
