Rachel Ward Sale FDB - bookbinding
I was born in Brighton in 1959 and studied Art, Design and Bookbinding at The University of Brighton, from 1977 - 81, under John Plummer, Faith Shannon and David Sellars.In 1980, I won First prize and Silver medal, in the Designer Bookbinders National Competition and was subsequently elected as one of the first two Licentiate members of DB.In the 2003 and 2004 DB competition, I won first prize for the open choice book and also, in 2004, the Mansfield Silver medal.I was elected a fellow of Designer Bookbinders in 2005Since leaving college, I have been self-employed, initially working from home, while my children were young. In 1992, I co-founded Bookbinders of Lewes, where I still work, doing general binding and repairs, as well as fine bindings.Texture is a recurrent element in my work, which I have been exploring further in recent bindings, often using found objects to print or impress leather and paper. I like the immediacy of these techniques and find the textures they create very tactile.
