ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Can you guess what's inside? :) #books #antique #vintage 022
ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Always a pleasure to see our tools in action! Video by @pulp_paper_heaven #bookbinding #craft #handmade #3dprintedtools #3dprinting 020
ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 13/03/2026A while ago, we posted video about paring leather with Schärfix or similar devices. This time, here's a much more meticulous process from @atelier_rectoverso #bookbinding #craft #handmade #leather 010

ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Paola Fagnola is a bookbinder and conservator from Italy. We already recorded a great talk with her a few years ago. But for a bunch of reasons, it was never published (blame Stepan Chizhov for that!) youtube.com/live/0yiC7xp... 100
ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 10/03/2026At moments, bookbinding is a very meditative process... Video by Juliette Amigues #handmade #bookbinding #craft #meditation 020
ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Before a book receives its cover, its decoration, or its gold, it needs something far more important: an enduring spine. Traditional bookbinding relies on sewing the folded sections of the book together, one signature at a time. 112
ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Another beautiful finishing work from @teo.studio #bookbinding #bookcover #handmade #craft 3588

ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Just a small snippet of the bookbinding process from Lorna McCurdy. Still, worth watching, as usual. #bookbinding #craft #handmade #bookcover 010
ibookbinding.bsky.social @ibookbinding.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Probably, one of the most meditative processes in bookbinding.
