I started bookbinding at The Craft Guild in 1997 and immediately fell in love with this Old World craft. After studying for several years, I took the plunge into teaching antique book restoration and conservation. My class is open to adults of all levels of experience and ability. I enjoy sharing the excitement of breathing new life into damaged and disbound books – the older the better. Students can learn to do difficult restorations like family bibles and cookbooks, create fine leather bindings for exhibition and competition, or even make hardcover editions of their own printed works.
