Watch the quiet artistry of bookbinding as I create a custom clamshell box for a special book of poems by Else Lasker-Schüler. This video is all about the process—cutting and assembling the boards, reinforcing the corners, covering with tissue paper, and lining the inside. You’ll hear only the natural sounds of the work: paper, glue, and cloth, as well as my voice guiding you through the steps of making this solander Box.
Perfect for those who love the art of bookbinding, enjoy watching a master at work, or simply find relaxation in the sounds of skilled hands shaping a book’s protective case.
