The art of making hand bound books is an ancient one that has taken on new meanings with every generation that attempts to express itself through this medium. Bookbinding, like photography, becomes about the journey and the discovery that is made while engaging oneself in the process. Benita often works on commissions from individuals, so let her know if you would like her to create something special just for you or someone you know.

This portfolio reflects the influences of many teachers, but thanks go especially to Charles (Chuck) Swedlund, an extraordinary teacher and mentor.

Check out Somerset Memories Magazine, April/May 2007 to see Benita’s book “Legacy”

• "Legacy " - A book of learned lessons from my “Gram”, who may be gone  but will never be forgotten.
