ONLINE: Triangle Bee Buttonhole Book with Anna Yevtukh

Join the fun to learn three techniques all in one tiny little book - we learned embroidery on leather, buttonhole stitching for binding books, and weaving as a decorative element for the spine.

The workshop will include discussions of different stitches, different kinds of threads, differences between stitching on leather and fabric.

The book measures under 5cm / 2”

There might be some homework between sessions. Registrants can work along with Anna, watch the live session, or just watch the videos later.

Anna Yevtukh is a member of the Society of Bookbinders, Designer Bookbinders and the local Guild of Designer Craftsmen who studied art and bookbinding in Ukraine and has been utilising these skills to build her handmade books since 1998. Anna is Ukrainian but has been permanently based in Worcester, UK since June 2006.

Basing her ethos on the fact that ‘’books should not merely be perceived as a means from which to read or write within,’ Anna’s artistic view to bookbinding allows her to create pieces of book art that are not only constructed with passion and flare to the highest quality but that are completely unique and personal.

Anna conducted various bookbinding, book arts and book conservation workshops and courses across the UK since 2007 and also teaches online for the last 4 years. She was a bookbinding tutor at Malvern School of Art from 2011 until 2021.
