American Academy of Bookbinding

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

Dear Friends, Students, Faculty Members and lovers of books,

This is Deb Stevens. I am the administrative director for the American Academy of Bookbinding based out of Telluride, Colorado. This blog was started as a way for all of us, those who have studied at AAB, friends of AAB, as well as those who want to find out more about this place, can keep in touch with each other during the year. I'll be posting all kinds of photos, news and updates as regularly as possible (or newsworthy). I hope you will also share any bookbinding thoughts, questions, revelations, etc. Send me your photos and let us all know what you're up to. Keep connected!

Fall Classes Start!

Judy Moves on and Deb Takes Over!

Don Glaister's Fundamentals/Intermediate Fine Binding class is finishing up their first week today. The studio is busy with paring, making headbands and sewing pages together, among other wonderful things. This class seems particularly focused—there are 12 students and everyone seems to be 'getting' it. Photos to follow soon!

In other news, Judy Kohin (that's me!) is leaving AAB and Ah Haa after nearly 20 years. It has been a joy to work with all of you....thanks for the great memories! Deb Stevens has taken my place and will do an outstanding job. I'll pursue documentary film making and my own artwork.
