Everybody loves a workshop tour! Here's Teodora Poiata's studio #bookbinding #craft #handmade #studio #workshop

It's always a pleasure to see our magnetic corner clamps featured in videos from @das.bookbinding. So, here's another one. Our shop has reopened for only a short time in November. We'll close again after that until spring! Don't miss that opportunity :) store.ibookbinding.com/collections/...

Every year, fellows of Designer Bookbinders prepare six unique bindings for the award ceremony of the Booker Prize. This time, we invited Hannah Brown, a British bookbinder, to discuss her binding with us. Hannah's book was 'The Rest of Our Lives' by Ben Markovits.

Amazing gold tooling on a miniature book from @maria_ruzaikina. It's always a pleasure to see Maria's work. So, please go and subscribe to her Instagram account! #bookbinding #craft #handmade #art #miniature

Here's a great reason to continue our favorite discussion: what is a book and what isn't a book? Pavel is in Egypt now and sends plenty of amazing things he experiences in museums there. @eusdeuscosmodeus

What a great example of use of our magnetic corner clamps for boxmaking! But also, I think @coseacasodesign produce some of the most creative boxmaking videos on Instagram, please follow them :) #bookbinding #boxmaking #clamp #magnet #craft #handmade

Continuing the theme of raised bands, here are some very real ones on an 18th-century book about witches. Bound by @lilbookbinder #bookbinding #antique #handmade #craft #leather #witch

Can you name the signs of fake raised bands? :) A great process explainer from @jaytannerbookbinder (Not about distinguishing the fake from the real ones, though :) #bookbinding #handmade #craft

Everyone likes some leather paring action! So, here's a video from @bigriverbindery :) #bookbinding #craft #handmade #leather

If you enjoyed the previous video, here's another one, both featuring our corner clamps, and the final result of Teodora's work! By the way, we just re-opened retail sales in our shop! But for only one month to allow you to buy holiday season presents for yourselves and your friends!

iBookBinding is closing its shop at least until October for a paternal leave! You will still be able to buy our tools through an ever growing list of partners! The color range you see in the video was chosen in collaboration with @corinne_vend_des_trucs (Belgium)

We just updated the stocks of Daniela Prina's marbled paper! And as Stepan is leaving for his paternal leave in August, this may be the last opportunity to buy this amazing paper from us until late autumn!

How books with round spines are made? We just had Dimitris (@dimitris_bookbinding_corner) live with an iBookBinding Class dedicated to making simple finishing tools. But it's always a pleasure to share his stuff. So, here's some backing work :) #bookbinding #handmade #timelapse #craft #workshop

We return with a new live class! Dimitris Koutsipetsidis has been a guest on our podcast and live stream a few times already. We discussed his tools more than once as well. Both in the context of the bindings he makes and separately. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Hq... #bookbinding #handmade #craft

Our magnetic clamps are already used by hundreds of bookbinders, other artisans, and hobbyists of all kinds all over the world. From Australia and New Zealand to Brazil and Argentina. From Germany and Sweden to Mexico and the US. And, of course, the UK, where iBookBinding resides since 2023.

Our live stream's co-host Pavel just visited Turkey recently and piled on me dozens of photos. I'll share some of them with you in the upcoming days. Here are some manuscripts from the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum in Istanbul #manuscript #antique #scroll #history #turkey

What do we do when we visit a new town? Well, you have the answer in front of you. Here's a fine bookshop in Sheringham, England :) #bookshop #antique #books #vintage

Always a pleasure seeing beautiful bookbinding machinery being used. Here's a short video with board shear from @bigriverbindery By the way, how do you call this tool? I know it has different names in different regions and languages. #bookbinding #cutting #paper #craft #handmade

Always a pleasure to see our tools used all over the world. Here is some boxmaking action from @lazyrabbitpress in Korea with both our magnetic clamps and the clamps with a screw. #bookbinding #boxmaking #3dprintedtools #craft #handmade #3dprinting

We know that you love leather paring videos :) Here's one from @juliette_amigues. Please follow her Instagram account :) #bookbinding #handmade #craft #books

Dimitris Koutsipetsidis is a Greek bookbinder who was on iBookBinding's podcasts and live streams a few times. In 2024, we agreed that Dimitris would make a design binding of a special book for us. And during this live stream, we'll reveal the binding and talk about its making.

Please take note that we are streaming on an unusual day this time! Every year, fellows of Designer Bookbinders prepare six unique bindings for the award ceremony of the Booker Prize. Glenn Malkin, a British bookbinder, was one of these six people this year.

A small except from our recent talk with Sophie Schneideman (@schneidemanbks_prints) where we discussed quite a few amazing bindings made by women. #bookbinding #books #bookhistory #art #craft #handmade #women

Another dynamic boxmaking video from @coseacasodesign with our magnetic clamps! #bookbinding #craft #handmade #3dprintedtools #3dprinting #boxmaking

A nicely stocked street library in Berlin #library #Berlin #books #travel #walks #streetlibrary

During our recent live, we discussed the binding Mark Cockram made for one of the six this year's Booker Prize shortlisted books. @thebookerprizes.bsky.social Mark's book was Charlotte Wood's Stone Yard Devotional.

Here are the results of the edge decoration Tom McEwan did during the first live lesson we had at iBookBinding recently. What process would you like to see explored during the next lesson with the next bookbinder we are going to invite?

Check out our holiday discounts! The video features our three-sided magnetic clamps for boxmaking and is made by @boganbindery We continue to accept orders, but they will be processed and 3d-printed after we come back to England early in January.

Beautiful video by Fibrille. Cleaning and lining of an antique book's spine. The video is sped up by 30x

Smile! iBookBinding is now officially in the holiday mode! We continue to accept orders, but they will be processed and 3d-printed after we come back to England early in January.

Let's try something new! We are keeping our live format, but this time, we invited Tom McEwan to run a class on edge decoration online! youtube.com/live/1Gw4kwZ... As usual, we'd be gathering questions from our viewers, and we'll pass them on to Tom.

Normally, I'm quite happy with Royal Mail. The problem is, when something bad happens, there's no way to talk to anyone on their side to figure out what to do next. You can only file a claim for refund and compensation 🧵

Something new at our shop! Jogger blocks for knocking-up paper stacks on your guillotine. As usual, one of the things we do is offering tools in a multitude of sizes. These jogger blocks aren't an exception! :)

Unfortunately, we have to postpone this talk. You can still set up a notification on YouTube, and we'll update you when we have a new date.

It time to talk about this year's Booker Prize bindings! We start with 'Stone Yard Devotional' by Charlotte Wood bound by Mark Cockram youtube.com/live/z8ra12O...
