Adventures in Bookbinding with Dominic Riley and Michael Burke
Join Michael and Dominic as they give a roundup of their action-packed year in bookbinding. They’ll talk about their adventures at Windsor Castle, their VIP visit to the Getty Library, their teaching — from kids at a SF elementary school, in the Czech Republic and at the Inaugural Book Camp — and of course many additional treats from their year at the bench.
In addition, they will talk about the history of bookbinding from 1606 – 1996, drawing on their large collection of bibles, large and small, quirky and unique, which together show the evolution of bookbinding structure and decoration over four centuries.
