About this Workshop

Students are encouraged to come to this workshop with projects and project ambitions of their own. We will go over a number of hand binding skills useful for creating new books from vintage and salvaged materials. The choice is yours, whether you’re interested in repairing books, repurposing their parts, or the custom fabrication of new books using salvaged supplies, my goal is to get you started.

Students are encouraged to come with books that are not precious. We will be initiating new skills and the results may be messy. Please bring expendable books to use mainly for learning, not irreplaceable heirlooms or works of art.


Required Materials

Possible projects for participants include: repairing a clothbound book with detached boards; converting a paperback book to hardcover; re-using vintage book boards to make a new blank journal; repurposing a pre-made new or vintage bound blank journal, fitting out the textblock with repurposed or new boards; and hand sewing a blank journal from new old stock paper. Participants are encouraged to bring their own materials, however, new and vintage materials will also be provided. Please reach out with specific questions regarding materials.


About the Instructor

Devon Eastland started taking books apart and putting them back together in 1990. After college, she ran her own business selling books printed before 1700 for twenty years. During this period, she found books needing binding help and restored them for sale, along performing restoration services for outside clients. Coolest bookbinding moment in life: making books for films led to making all of the books for Greta Gerwig’s Little Women and appearing in the film as the bookbinder!

Pretty shelves for small space
Size: 17 Inch, Color: Natural
Good quality shelves and easy to install once I used my own stronger anchors and screws. The ones provided were too weak and made the shelf unstable. I had to patch several holes in my wall before installing them correctly. If they had provided better quality anchors I would have rated it 5 stars. Still very happy with my purchase.

Flimsy and doesn’t hold weight
Size: 17 Inch, Color: Natural, Size: 17 Inch, Color: Natural
Do not buy this. The frame this comes with is so small and flimsy. I didn’t even have anything on the shelves yet and they were falling off the wall. The wood is a beautiful color but the quality is awful. I had different floating shelves on the same wall and I included a picture of the thick metal frame those came with, also from Amazon to show how flimsy this brand is.

Really nice shelves well-made
Size: 30 Inch, Color: Walnut, Size: 30 Inch, Color: Walnut
I recently installed a set of floating wooden shelves above my kitchen sink, and they have completely transformed the space. The natural wood grain adds warmth and character, making my kitchen feel more open and inviting. The shelves are sturdy and well-made, supporting everything from dishware to small plants and decorative items without any sagging. Installation was straightforward, with the included hardware making it easy to mount them securely. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they hold weight while maintaining a sleek, minimalistic look. The floating design gives a clean, uncluttered aesthetic, which is exactly what I was looking for. Functionally, they’ve made a huge difference. I can now keep everyday essentials like mugs and spices within easy reach while freeing up valuable counter space. They’re also a great alternative to upper cabinets, preventing the area above my sink from feeling closed in. Overall, these floating wooden shelves are both practical and stylish. Whether you’re looking to add storage or just enhance your kitchen’s design, they’re a fantastic option. I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a simple yet impactful upgrade to their space!

Look nice, not sturdy or supportive
Size: 17 Inch, Color: Dark Blue
The color and thickness of the shelf is great. Very easy to install. But the wall mount portion is cheaply made and doesn’t support the shelf as well as it should. Once mounted the shelf leans forward and isn’t sturdy. After mounting, I found my items had slid off end up on the floor.

The color is beautiful
Size: 17 Inch, Color: Dark Blue
These are beautiful! I bought them for my Grandsons Baseball room. We haven’t put them up yet. They will be a great addition to his red, white, and blue baseball room!
