Abstract

The article focuses on Lorna McCurdy, a skilled bookbinder who has elevated the craft through her meticulous techniques and deep appreciation for the art. Based in her rural Berkshire studio, McCurdy draws inspiration from her family's history in bookbinding, particularly her great-grandmother, who trained with renowned bookbinder Douglas Cockerell. Her work involves intricate processes such as hand sewing, gilding with various metals, and using traditional techniques like kettle stitch and Coptic stitch, all while emphasizing the importance of patience in her craft. McCurdy's contemporary fine bindings reflect both her dedication to traditional methods and her innovative spirit, making her a significant figure in the world of bookbinding.
