Workshops and Classes

Bella Forte Bookbinding offers year round classes in the studio and at Historic Sugartown in Malvern PA. Bridget offers 1 or 2 days workshops as well as destination workshops. Her Creativity-Unbound destination workshop which started as a combination of the art of the Book and Painting is blossoming into the destination art workshop! Upcoming workshops in the planning include bookbinding & photography, bookbinding & poetry, bookbinding & encaustic painting and bookbinding/yoga and dance. Visit Creativity Unbound for dates and details. Bridget teaches with the same passion she creates her beautiful works. One student wrote “…That everyone in the workshop turned out books of professional quality is just one of the testimonials to her skills.” Make sure you sign up for our newsletter to keep up to date with these incredible offerings. Additionally Bridget offers internships, times shared opportunities at her studio and a Wednesday Night Bookbinding Work Group. Meeting every other W from 6-9 this is an opportunity for those with bookbinding skills to hone them and use all the equipment in the studio to create your own books.
If you are interested in Bridget coming to your place to teach, please contact her directly.
You won’t want to stop making books once you start!
