ONLINE BOOK TALK: 365 Bindings: Learning Along the Way with Rhonda Miller from My Handbound Books

Join us for a book talk with Rhonda Miller about her experience of building 365 unique bindings!

In the early days of bookbinding blogs, Rhonda undertook a personal project to showcase 365 different bookbinding structures over the course of a year.

In the end, it took 455 days, but when the project was finished it proved to be an incredible learning journey. Rhonda will talk about how the project came to be, the project itself, and how it has impacted her work over the years.
