Hudson River Bindery

In grad-school I took an art class. It was such a nice way to escape the monotonous discipline of architecture. I’ve taken figure drawing and sculpture, but this was more free-form, involved digital media and got me into making art-books. I learned how to sew signatures together and a few different bookbinding techniques. (Here's a really great book to learn all of this stuff from).I was fascinated. Of course I haven’t done anything with it since then, but I was delighted when I discovered that there’s a book bindery right here in Beacon. They do embossing, stamping, gold edging and “For-Edge” painting (pictured below). They also make specialty boxes. So if you’re looking for a service like this, give them a call. They do editions of up to a hundred. 845.401.8269 or check out their website.
