About the opportunity

West Dean Books subject lead and Books students can discuss the many career pathways that our craft practices alumni go on and do. Attendees can also engage in some simple practical activities such as sewing a book on a traditional sewing frame, using gold foil to create a small stamped piece of bookcloth, or making a simple note book. We are also very open to schools coming to visit us to see what we do.
