About
I am a lifelong bibliophile and professional biblioplegist, which are both just fancy ways of saying I’m a gigantic book nerd. I am an award winning bookbinder and QEST Craft Scholar, making and repairing books from my studio on the Isle of Iona. I teach bookbinding both on Iona and elsewhere by request. I take great pleasure in employing the same techniques and skills that generations before me have honed and passed on, using conservation techniques and materials when I’m working on older books, and combining newer materials with historical binding structures when working on new books.
