A tribute to an extremely talented bookbinder..
Guest User
Very sadly, David Sellars passed away this month and we would like to pay tribute to an extremely talented bookbinder.
Sellars’ approach to materials always expressively and skillfully articulates the subject with a beautiful sculptural approach to working with leather, and his passion has seen him teach the subject of book art across the world further exploring the art and science of bookbinding.
Enjoying the more artistic side of bookbinding Sellars career has spanned from apprenticeship at the age of 15 to studying conservation, serving as president of designer bookbinders, teaching and running his own studio producing design bindings and limited editions.
His creativity, knowledge and vision will be missed but will continue to inspire those who shared his passion.
