Teresa Merriman
leatherwork
Teresa Merriman cuts and works several different tans of leather, creates and prepares distinctive, decorative, archival, handmade papers, and binds the two together with six-ply parachute tack cord to craft durable and everlasting books for everyone to enjoy. The handmade paper is acid-free and archival to protect the life of everything put on and in between them.
Using traditional methods, Merriman binds handmade papers and leather together to create personal journals.
“With my artistic perspective on book binding, I fuse traditional and contemporary — using inventive techniques to create extraordinary and beautiful works of art for function and admiration!”
