Sadly for me, this is the last week of bookbinding classes in Telluride for the spring semester. Classes are still continuing in Ann Arbor for a few more weeks, and Hélène Jolis will be in San Francisco and Boston for a few weeks after that. This week Monique Lallier is teaching Intermediate/Advanced Fine Binding, and students are here for one week only. So things are very busy in the studio! Some students have worked very late into the night. The bindings and techniques covered this week are very diverse, with students at varying levels of study, so it is a pleasure to see such different and creative approaches to fine binding. Once again I am blown away by the quality of the student work and the enthusiasm students have for their projects.
