It’s not only the holidays that are shiny and bright. The bindery added more brass type to our collection for gold stamping of covers and boxes. #bookbinding #bookconservation #bookrepair #clamshellbox #goldstamping #bookarts #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYALpXKr2fG/?utm_medium=tumblr

I came across this book while making boxes for oversize items in Special Collections.  Is it just me, or do his eyes following you?

Teaching the in-person workshop was great, but it’s nice getting back to some quiet time in the studio again (alone with no mask). Stamping some titles on new bindings today. #goldstamping #kwikprint #bookbinding #bookarts #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdwCSXJjA6/?igshid=1bkv49j466caf

It’s 10 pm in the shop and I’m staying warm by the Kwikprint. Only five more lines of titling and I get to go home. #bookbinding #bookrepair #bookconservation #bookarts #goldstamping #kwikprint #atlantaartist #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzmG1tATqt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17f4jzv5vlmzs

A chilly day is a good day for hot stamping. This new leather cover is getting a name monogrammed on the front. The application of heat transfers the impression on the brass type and the colored foil. #bookbinding #bookrepair #goldstamping #hotstamping #kwikprint #bookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClCJECkJP84/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The bindery staff picked up this beast of a tool today. This Kensol stamping machine will make it easier and more accurate to gold stamp labels and covers fro our clients. We’ll dust it off and learn how best to use it soon. #goldstamping #kensol #heavyequipment #newtoy #bookbinding #boxmaking (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgpgBztJKKm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
