About
Angela James works almost exclusively on commissioned fine-bindings and work for exhibitions, including the Shortlisted books for the Booker Prize.
Her binding work involves dyeing and colouring the leather she uses and she also creates the whole book (artist’s books), using letterpress and drypoint etching. She lives in rural North Yorkshire with a large garden just inside the North York Moors National Park.
Angela’s bindings are in many public and private collections. She is a Fellow of Designer Bookbinders and was President from 1990 to 1996.
