More about Autumn:
My name is Autumn McPeak, and I’ve been practicing bookbinding since 2014. My curiosity about how things are made led me to take a class that sparked a deep passion. While I enjoy the finished product, it's the process—cutting paper, sewing pages, and assembling covers—that brings me the most joy. Each book feels alive, with a second life beyond my hands. Bookbinding continues to inspire me, and I’m excited to share this art with you.
