book binding

While attending SCAD, I became very interested in handmade books when I was in a photography course and my professor Catherine Cardarelli did a demonstration on creating our own one-of-a-kind portfolios. I was not very successful the first time around, but the possibilities of designing a book are endless and I wanted to explore my new interest. I joined an Experimental Bookmaking class in the Fibers Dept my senior year. With each assignment I learned new techniques and became inspired by the environment and natural sources. Four years later I am still an active bookmaker. I have successfully sold books as journals and sketchbooks at Shop SCAD, Mediterranean Cafe, and on Etsy. They also make great gifts for artists and writers. I also make custom books, so please feel free to contact me if you have a specific idea or theme in mind.


I will be doing a demonstration on book binding at Utrecht on July 20 during Artscape.
