Meet Hugo Stevenson, he caught the bookbinding bug!📚 We have run a Bookbinding course at Flatford Mill for many, many years. Little did Hugo know that after attending the course, it would start a major career change and the start of a new business. Hugo attended one of our Bookbinding for Beginners and Improvers courses with expert bookbinder Mark Cockram. His love for repairing and rebinding old books combined with a dramatic shift in his PHD studies meant that Hugo left his doctorate to start his own bookbinding business, Aulwynd Bindery. Read the fascinating story here: https://buff.ly/3Z0bo2w Feel inspired to have a go at bookbinding yourself? We're running this course next year with an expert team of bookbinders on hand to guide you. https://buff.ly/3YWIFLY
