I’m delighted to announce that my forthcoming book, Bound to be Beautiful, is now available for pre-order in my online shop! (Link in bio and stories)

Filled with favourite bookbinding projects, signature techniques, and paper discoveries gleaned through decades of making and teaching. It’s a compendium for bookbinders of every skill level.

As a special thank-you, every signed copy ordered directly from BZS will arrive with an exclusive papery treat, along with our signature wrapping.

I can hardly wait to place this book into your hands and see the books you make! 📚❤️

Details: a recent bookshelf rearrangement of favourite blank books, some freshly stitched, others from decades ago.

I always encourage students to fill their handbound books. There is great joy in seeing books bulge with buckled pages from watercolour, collage, and ephemera… though every now and then, a book appears to insist upon staying gloriously blank.

I’m delighted to be returning for my second teaching collaboration with for the month of May. This month’s project is The Art of the Hinge. This structure, with its articulated covers, opens up (ahem, pardon the pun) a wide range of possibilities for presenting photos, poems, paintings, or what-have-you. The book can be made as thin or as gloriously thick as you wish, though our favourite part may be the endless mixing and matching possibilities for spines, covers and hinges.

It has been such a delight to see the Inspiration Gallery populate with so many fabulous material choices, and even more so, to see the books in action.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and connecting many of your faces with your books during the sharing session this Friday!

Club Artful Q4 begins tomorrow, Sunday, May 3. And it’s not too late to join us!

In the first hour with me we will hand-fold an envelope without a template, with a charming eyelet closure!

In the second hour with .studio she will lead the group in painting small imaginitive flowers onto little labels which we will attach to the envelope to create whimsical seed packets. (A lovely gift for Mother’s Day 🌸)

You will most likely have all the supplies on hand save for the eyelet set (which can be acquired rather easily) but if not you’ll be able to finish your envelope afterwards. The lesson will be recorded and available later the same day.

We look forward to seeing you in the Zoom room! 💌🌷🌼🌸🌻
