Triptych Shrine Book - Online - 2025WKSP-11-02

ONLINE: Triptych Shrine Book with Anna Yevtukh

A Shrine is a niche or case in which the spirit of someone special is kept.

Join us for a fun and interactive creative bookbinding workshop where you'll learn how to make your own Triptych Shrine Book.

There might be some homework between sessions. Registrants can work along with Anna, watch the live session, or just watch the videos later.

Anna Yevtukh is a member of the Society of Bookbinders, Designer Bookbinders and the local Guild of Designer Craftsmen who studied art and bookbinding in Ukraine and has been utilising these skills to build her handmade books since 1998. Anna is Ukrainian but has been permanently based in Worcester, UK since June 2006.

Basing her ethos on the fact that ‘’books should not merely be perceived as a means from which to read or write within’’, Anna’s artistic view to bookbinding allows her to create pieces of book art that are not only constructed with passion and flare to the highest quality but that are completely unique and personal.

Anna conducted various bookbinding, book arts and book conservation workshops and courses across the UK since 2007 and also teaches online for the last 4 years. She was a bookbinding tutor at Malvern School of Art from 2011 until 2021.
