In my studio in beautiful Montpelier, Vermont you will find me hand-binding journals, photo albums, and guest books using traditional bookbinding techniques. I also design and create custom invitations and announcements. I welcome and enjoy custom work - I want to help you achieve your vision. I work with handmade papers and materials from both local artisans and from around the world. I have a special interest in using "green" materials that contain recycled content. I strive to create books that maintain the beauty and integrity of the materials with which I work. All of the materials I use are acid-free to ensure the longevity of your photos. In addition to my handmade work, I am also able to do basic book repairs. I offer a range of bookbinding workshops appropriate for either students or teachers. I have worked in both traditional and non-traditional educational settings, art centers, and community festivals. Workshops are easily adapted to make them accessible to a variety of populations. In general, my workshops are open to students with all levels of experience. For more information, please visit my website: http://blueroofdesigns.com/workshops/
