Box making and new binding structures
Five enjoyable days teaching at Urchfont Manor

Please do contact me if you would like any more information of this event. Isa has been doing it for about 19 years and its a wonderful show.
Please do look at the link for this Exhibition at the Lund Gallery, Easingwold, North Yorkshire. (Go to Current Exhibitions). My bookbinding is taking part with this veritable FEAST of craftspeople.

I love colour and it was quite a challenge for me to think of an interesting and funky design predominantly in silver. So I chose cream Harmatan leather and I decorated tyvek in silver for the covers. The book’s structure is known as simplified binding – the technical demands of which bely its title! I have bound an open/blank book entitled Sterling Stuff so that it can lend itself to a variety of uses. Sterling Stuff is for sale at the Summer Exhibition at the Devon Guild, Bovey Tracey for £170.
This exhibition opens this Saturday 2nd July at the Devon Guild, Bovey Tracey. I will be posting a photo and description of the book I have designed and bound.
