Bookwork

I like playing with the more decorative aspects of books, since with the advent of glue-bound paperbacks this is what’s become less common. I’m interested in combining techniques from different traditions—from stab binding and Japanese-style marbling to German bradel binding and French endbands—and exploring new ones. I will not do coptic binding without a good reason since I feel the paper is too exposed and don’t like the floppier movement of the spine :)

I also do protective box-making and minor repairs.
