There’s nothing like a big double walled box to fill up the bench. These trays and the pressed case below will cover a family bible, protecting it from dust, light, and changes in the environment. Now I just have to find someplace else to work for a bit. #clamshellbox #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookbinding #bookarts #preservationenclosure (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cky3rrKJMd6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This week we’ve been working on clamshell boxes. We were surprised to see all of them would be wrapped in @colophonbookarts Dubletta Grays book cloth. #clamshellbox #bookbinding #bookarts #bookcloth #preservationenclosure #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cafx_FZJ_le/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s not only the holidays that are shiny and bright. The bindery added more brass type to our collection for gold stamping of covers and boxes. #bookbinding #bookconservation #bookrepair #clamshellbox #goldstamping #bookarts #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYALpXKr2fG/?utm_medium=tumblr
