Hand binding

 

Do you have a damaged antiquarian volume that needs structural repair or or to be rebound it from scratch? I will work with your book in a way that is sympathetic to its original form, structure, materials, and purpose while ensuring its continued use and longevity.

​

Is your project the creation of a edition or the binding of a new text, album, or journal? Here the challenge is to draw---and innovate---on centuries of proven binding techniques in order to identify the materials, structure, and design that best suit your book's content and your intentions for its use.

​

Hand binding in the twenty-first century looks simultaneously forward and back. As a binder I am respectful of the craft's rich past, considerate of each book's present purpose, and deeply aware of the long future into which it must survive.
