BOOK-BINDING PROJECTS

I took a book binding course while attending CMU, where I crafted books using traditional book binding materials, machines, and methods. My first project was to make a hard cover for an existing book. I used a letterpress machine to print the cover label. The second project was to create a book completely from scratch, from the folded and sewed signatures for pages, to the collaged book cover.
