Teaching
Bookbinding, papermaking, printing, and the connections between structure and meaning.
As Lecturer of Bookbinding, I work with students on historical and contemporary structures, from Coptic and stiff-leaf binding to case binding, adhesive binding, and box making. The workshops connect material decisions with the ideas a book can communicate.
Workshop areas
Structure
Coptic, Ethiopian, and stiff-leaf bindings shape how a book opens, moves, and holds its pages.
Material
Handmade paper, letterpress, Arabic typography, and printmaking connect the page’s surface with its content.
Form
Sequence, scale, compartments, and the reader’s interaction shape the experience of artists’ books and boxes.
