Andrea Kohler Bookbindery
November 2, 2010
After a traditional 4-year apprenticeship and several sojourns abroad, Andrea established an atelier in Zurich, where she practiced for 14 years. She trained several apprentices and for many years taught courses at a school for continuing education.
Andrea binds books entirely by hand, in both traditional and contemporary styles, using techniques that have changed little over hundreds of years. Hand binding is a labor-intensive craft, requiring much skill and patience. Since 1996, Andrea has lived and worked in Seattle.
