Ethos for The Bookbinders Collective

We are a group of professional bookbinders, working as individuals, who are looking to promote bookbinding as a modern, relevant artform for the 21 st century. Our foundations are in traditional craft techniques but we uphold contemporary design values.

Each binder represented here has undergone a rigorous selection process and so any potential purchaser can be confident that they will be getting a well crafted book, bound to the highest standard - a practical and unique work of art.

All members are Fellows or Licentiates of Designer Bookbinders, a national umbrella organisation, established to promote the art of design binding.

This website acts as a gallery of our work and a point of contact. The books are chosen to give a flavour of the style of each individual binder and may not be for sale. If you are interested in commissioning a binding or have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact us by going to CONTACTS page.
