Have you been to the Scottish Ornithology Club? @ScottishBirding treated us to a peek around their beautiful library & gallery yesterday. So many treasures to see 😍 my faves were hand-painted bird-inspired happy families & bird observations from Scottish Lighthouses. It's ace!

We had a fantastic time @DADbookbinders yesterday, we learned new skills and gained so much confidence in repairing books. Thanks so much to everyone in the workshop, you were so welcoming and supportive 🤩 Our broken books are now treasures again 🥰

SQUEEE… I am so excited to be joining a select group of @CilipsEast members for a workshop @DADbookbinders this afternoon. What a fantastic opportunity to learn about book repair and (for me) get some advice on a very special book made by my dad at art school in the 60’s.
