LAURA WEST, A QUEEN ELIZABETH SCHOLAR
Laura West is a classically trained award winning bookbinder specialising in traditional and contemporary hand-sewn books. Laura has a first class honours degree (BA) in bookbinding from Roehampton Institute (now part of Surrey University) where she was taught by Jen Lindsay. She is also a Queen Elizabeth Scholar (2000) and Balvenie Artisan of the Year (2005).
Laura has been running her bindery, The Isle of Skye Bindery, since 1999 where she works to archival standards using archival or acid free papers, board and leather, binding books to last a lifetime.
Laura's signature range of unique artefact books draws on her studies and interest in historical book structure from all cultures. She says "I want to take the form and structure of the book and continue its evolution in the digital era. To inspire journalists, observers, artists and bloggers - the new generation of book lovers."
