Hana Kettleby

binding no. 14, week three

Hana here. I run a two-person bindery in a converted dairy outside Ludlow. We sew small editions for poets, cooks and the occasional ornithologist.

Since 2019 I have bound 312 editions, taught coptic stitch to about 900 people, and written a short, stubborn newsletter about paper grain.

Right now I am working on a field guide you can rain on. Notes below.
