Laser cut jigs that can be custom designed and fabricated for a specific purpose or job. John DeMerrit is a genius! #bookbinding #editionbinding #customtools #jigs #paperandbookintensive #oxbowmi (at Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists' Residency)

This stack of books is ready to head out the door. Small editions are a fun change from conservation of older materials. #bookbinding #bookarts #editionbinding #atlantabookarts #goldstamped (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKK_LwA-k2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hrssvbgstrz0

As things dry, I’m doing a little inventory of endbands. I’m heading to the @guildofbookworkers conference next week and all my favorite vendors will be there. #bookarts #bookbinding #endbands #bookartssupplies #editionbinding #atlantaartist #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouG2NCgv6n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a79z0lb66is1

A great job by @henryandco on the hot stamping for an edition of clamshell boxes for the deluxe edition of the New Deal Utopias book by @jjrebs. Now to finish the trays for the boxes. #clamshellbox #bookbinding #hotstamping #editionbinding (at Big River Bindery)

Between these two and myself, had 101 years of bookbinding experience in the shop yesterday. It is such a gift when mentors show up to help you through the end of a huge project, no questions asked (90 books knocked out, for a radical first: PASSINGS is fully bound ahead of being sold out). I'm involved in enough mentoring myself to know what a gift it is to have dedicated students in the next generation call on you, so I'm just holding on to this big ol' grin of gratitude. And ramping up for the next project, of course. #bookbinding #passings #headdown #editionbinding #independentpublishing
