This is my bookbinding studio desk!

Bookbinding Studio Desk - Ruth Bleakley
I know I always like to take a peek into other people’s work spaces, and since mine is particularly clean (read: not like an episode of Hoarders) I thought I’d take some pictures to share! I like to surround myself with lots of cool little knick knacks – since this is where I spend a lot of my time, that’s where I put my favorite little odds and ends.

    Hi, I’m a student that goes to MICA and I was wondering where you purchased that thread (fourth picture. I just started my mixed media book class and we’re learning to make books. What is that type of thread called and where can i acquire some?

  • Hi! You can get that thread at a couple of different places – it’s called Waxed Linen Thread and one of my favorite bookbinding suppliers is Hollander’s. These spools make a lot of books though, you might consider getting a smaller quantity on etsy.
