The American Bookbinders Museum
The American Bookbinders Museum explores and celebrates the craft, culture, and tools of bookbinding.
Nicoline Meyer started working at the American Bookbinders Museum as a volunteer before a formal internship while completing an MA in Museum Studies in 2017. Following her graduation, Meyer joined the museum full-time as a Museum Coordinator and Collections Manager. During that time, she worked on numerous exhibitions, the museum's audio tour, and transitioned the museum's collections to a new software platform. A long-time hobbyist binder, she found her calling creating floor models for the museum. ![]()

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided to become a full-time bookbinder. This passion moved her to the East Coast, where she attended the North Bennett Street School. Today, Meyer works out of her studio, Silver Ocean Studio, in upstate New York, completing production bindings, selling books at craft fairs, and creating custom-commissioned books.![]()
