iBB Podcast #16.2 – Peter Geraty – More Bindings! Workshop Tour
More bindings, amazing boxes, and even some smoke-like marbling on silk by Chena River Marblers — these are some of the things we discussed with Peter Geraty in another episode of iBookBinding’s Podcast!
After discussing several more bindings, Peter took us for a tour of his enormous workshop! Tools, workbenches, book projects in works — all this and more!
