We’d like to introduce you to The Travelling Bookbinder. Rachel Hazell is an imaginative and generous bookbinder, teacher and lover of papery, wordy things. Her book, Bound, is a beautiful collection of book-making projects. They are all easily manageable. Each book form suggests different ideas for writing and art work.
The Travelling Bookbinder has a regular newsletter for those who sign up. It just so happened that in this month’s letter, Rachel shows how to make a simple artist’s book using a page from a discarded book. She uses the blackout technique to create a new text from the old one. We thought you might like to make one yourself.
