shop
work is currently done on a commission basis, with the exception of marbling seconds, as detailed below.
commissions
i'm open for commissions related to marbling, marbling rake-making, and bookbinding. please reach out at parry@bookartbook.art if you have any questions! trade, barter, or collabs preferred over monetary transfer (but i also accept that, too).
marbling
- support for full sized sheets up to 20 x 26
- open to working with non-paper materials, too!
- available for edition work
- marbling firsts (i.e. the cream i skim off the top of my personal work) are for sale – please reach out if interested
marbling tools
- any length and any spacing and any thickness tine
bookbinding
- primarily functional cased designs
- able to do imposition (including 4to and 8vo)
- available for edition work
marbling seconds
marbling seconds are those sheets that either have an error (e.g. air bubble), poor color palette, or other characteristics that make them undesirable for my own work. however, they may be perfect for what you're trying to do. seconds are sold at cost, in bundles of 5, thus $7.50 + shipping. size and color not guaranteed, but please reach out if you have something in mind – note, however, that it may be better suited for a commissioned marbling edition.
please email me at parry@bookartbook.art with "marbling seconds" in the title if interested.
kyoseishi
a variety of kyoseishi paper is available for sale. the standard sheet is ~24" x 18" (kozo/wood-pulp blend), has 4 coats of konnyaku, and is lightly crumpled for ease of transport. cost is $30/sheet.
variations may include (pending availability or upon request):
- kakishibu dyed
- indigo dyed
- premium (100% kozo)
- additional crumpling
- marbled
i'm excited to provide kyoseishi for your project, so please reach out if you have any questions or are curious about what sheets are in stock.
