Featured Workshop Instructor:
Julia Miller

Julia has been studying historical bindings for many years. After retiring from her position as senior conservator at the University of Michigan Conservation Lab in 1994, she has been involved with researching and recreating historical structures, including the Nag Hammadi codices (pictured above). The classes she teaches are designed to teach book artists some new approaches using old structures. Julia loves teaching and her research has spawned many ideas for her classes. Most recently, Julia received a fellowship to research and write a book on identifying and describing historical bindings. For more on Julia Miller, click here.
