Be part of the centuries-long tradition of bookbinding on Iona or request a workshop a bit closer to your home

“I chose to enrol after looking at your beautiful work and was delighted to find you are a great tutor too.”

We know books have been made on Iona at least as long ago as the 9th Century when the Book of Kells was created, and likely long before that. Now you can try the craft yourself while you’re visiting the island.

I offer regularly scheduled workshops here on Iona, private tutoring, classes on the mainland, or you can book me to teach a workshop in your location of choice. 

Workshops on Iona are held in the newly built Iona Village Hall – a beautiful space to work in, and centrally located just a couple minutes walk from the pier.

“Toben is a fantastic teacher and I can’t recommend his workshops enough. I can’t wait to get home to make my next one.”
