Bookbinding Examples
Coptic Binding
Made in a workshop with John Mumford, this book demonstrated the first multi-signature binding techniques, along with introducing the decoration of leather and toggles.
Limp Vellum Binding
Made in a workshop with Shaun Thompson, this was the first time working with vellum and alum tawed thongs.
Gothic Binding
This book was made in a workshop, also led by Shaun Thompson, outlining the binding style of gothic books and understanding their degradation. It was the first time working with wooden boards and bronze clasps.
Hollow Back Binding
Made in a workshop with Rachel Ward-Sale, this book was an introduction to laced-in boards, constructed endpapers, and making a hollow.
Mini Half Leather Bound with False Raised Bands
A mini book I made for a friend to go into her doll house. Half bound in calf leather and decorated paper, with false raised bands, stuck on endbands, and dark green endpapers.
