I am really inspired by UPPERCASE - a great visual arts online site with a fabulous magazine and interesting web entries.
The most recent blog post includes a video of the hand printing, letter press pressing and hand binding process of making a series of Artist's Books. Hours of work in just over 5 minutes!
This brings back memories of hours spent in the letterpress workshop setting type and printing Fairy Tales, my limited edition of hand bound books featuring fairy tales in 31 words. I raise my glass to the dedicated, skilled craft process of book binding!
Below are images of the hand binding of the Fairy Tales limited edition books.
I have just found the rather beautiful website of the featured Book Artist Abigail Uhteg (by pausing the video to read the text near the end!).
