Studio Upgrade

My studio got a MAJOR upgrade this week. I am the grateful recipient of Leonard Langman’s book making machines. Leonard loved the Artist Books I make, and collected many of them. Very sadly he passed from COVID. Before now I’d have to hand-cut sheets of book board, stack heavy books to press books while gluing, and a tiny gold stamper (thanks Dad!). Now I can squarely cut huge boards (on what equates to a giant paper cutter), press books in an actual press, and gold stamp larger and longer texts or blocks. I’m looking forward to when I make my next books.
