Marbling Fine Bindings

Deborah V. Thomson, Echo Art Bindery

Join bookbinder–and marbler–Deborah V. Thomson of Echo Art Bindery for a look at marbling techniques on fine bindings. Deborah has a diploma in fine binding from the American Academy of Bookbinding where she studied with Don Glaister, Peter Geraty and Monique Lallier. She learned marbling with Regina St. John of Chena River Marblers. In this virtual lecture she will discuss marbling techniques on leather, and as an edge treatment as well as instructions on how binders can bring this practice into their space. Come with your questions. Deborah will share her experience and answer questions about techniques and tools.
