Review for: Long Stitch Binding

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.

Review for: Case Binding

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!

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.

Review for: Leather Bound Journal

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

Review for: Leather Bound Journal

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 :)
