Hexad Book - ONLINE - 2026WKSP-09-13

ONLINE: Hexad Book with Anna Yevtukh

During this workshop, you will create six tiny handcrafted triangular journals and then bind them together into one beautiful hexagon shaped project  - the Hexad Book.

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.
