Paper Leaf Bindery, our family, has demonstrated bookbinding at the Colonial Festival in Orem, Utah, since 2017. Since then, we have demonstrated at many other events.
Dressed in colonial-appropriate clothing and using equipment that would have been found in early Colonial American binderies.
We demonstrate the work required for bookbinding in the colonial era, which the Founding Fathers and many others of that time so treasured.

What We Do
Bookbinding Classes
Interested in learning bookbinding, distance or virtually?
Paper Leaf Bindery offers virtual classes that come with supply kits and tool recommendations for you to learn how to bind books. Join us on an adventure as we bind our way through history. We will explore many bookbinding styles from around the world and provide you with the historical context for the books as you learn to make them.
