£80.00

27th October 2024 10:30-17:30 Max 8 participants

(This class requires at least 4 participants to run)

There is nothing better when the nights are drawing in, than reading ghost stories from a finely-bound book. Now you can make your own with this bookbinding and storytelling workshop at Fabrication Crafts.

Join us for a joint workshop with Anachronalia and Steve Mackenzie at Fabrication Studios to make your own hardback book and then fill it with your very own ghost stories.

The workshop begins by creating a hardback notebook with Anachronalia inspired by Victorian and Edwardian stationery. Suitable for complete beginners, all materials will be provided.

After a break for lunch, the second half of our workshop will be led by storytelling master Steve Mackenzie. Stories surround us everyday, but someday when the darkness is falling and the veil is thin our minds start to find bits of light coming through, glimpses of that shadow in the corner, now is the time to write.. GHOST STORIES… Steve Mackenzie will help you explore the ghost story/folk horror landscape to find the story that wants you to write it.

This workshop will be held on the first floor of Fabrication2 Hereford House, 6 Edward St, Leeds LS2 7NT, please note our main entrance door is on North Court.

The workshop can get cold in the autumn and winter months so do bring an extra layer just in case. There will be hot drinks available throughout.

Access: the workshop is on the first floor, accessed via a short flight of stairs to the ground floor, then a larger flight of stairs with handrail accessed via a fire door. Toilets and kitchen facilities are on the same floor as the workshop. If you have any specific access queries, don’t hesitate to contact Anachronalia.
