This commitment was beautifully showcased at our recent bindery evening, where members gathered to delve into the intricacies of inlaying bookcloth. Led by the talented Sarah Davies, this demonstration illuminated a technique meticulously documented by June McNicol, a testament to the collaborative spirit and knowledge-sharing ethos within our guild.
