bookbinding with cass

I am passionate about making the craft of bookbinding fun and accessible. I'm particularly inspired by nature and working with remnant materials, transforming what might otherwise end up in landfill, into unique and usable books. Online workshops and kits, in-person classes and commissions.

book works

I’m very against trying to pin things down, either with meaning or in time, because I think that the moment you fix it, something dislodges it. And I’ve always been quite reluctant to define what an artist’s book is for similar reasons, because I think the minute you define it, you immediately want to do something outside of the scope of what an artist’s book is. It’s as if you are cornering yourself, or being asked to come up with a position. I always thought that they are all just books. Or all just works. – Jane Rolo, Founding Director, from Again, A Time Machine: from distribution to archive

anna yevtukh-squire handmade books

Each book is unique and has an awe of great design and creation, starting life as a mere spontaneous idea. I devote my soul to creation of each book and, as an end result, it shines, eludes the warmth from my hands and heart. I build each book the old world way using hand tools - an awl, needle and thread, ruler, bone folder... Materials, tools and binding methods are the same as used thousand years ago. I am always open to consider
