Bookbinding is the age-old craft of gathering data within a physical artefact in it's most efficient form: by creating a maximised surface area on the pages relatively to it's
outer shell - the cover.

Recent creative work

Full Leather Binding

2023

During my apprenticeship with Hannah Brown in the UK in 2023, I made my first full leather binding. Skills such as creating endbands,  embroidery, onlays, edge decoration, sewing on tapes, ploughing and leather paring were all incorporated in this creation process. 

The design was inspired by my walks around Glastonbury Tor.
