A little bit of this and that.

 

My biblionautic chums and friends.

A little bit of type set and lino printing. Just a quick pull to see what is what.

Teaching/sharing at Flatford Mill.

My biblionautic chums and friends.

I thought I would share a few images of the Bookbinding for Beginners and Improvers at Flatford Mill. Though we have fun I share, with the beginners, how to make a multi sectional flat back, a slip case with time for them to repeat or work on an individual project. The Improvers work on their own projects. A busy week!

Gold Leaf and Leather Tesserae.

My biblionautic chums and friends.

Now that I find myself back in Studio 5 after a few weeks lecturing and the like in Australia and the Philippines, I am able to complete a two day course in leather and cold gold techniques. The first day was fun, bags of leather and stuff, today was the gold and whatnot.

We looked at three variations on a theme.

 Ending with wonderful gold and leather tesserae.
