From an early age, Eva Luna Kodera dreamed of becoming a ‘book doctor’, inspired by a character in one of her favourite stories. Now, as a master bookbinder, she is living that dream.
She developed her bookbinding skills over many years, most recently becoming a master bookbinder after a three-year apprenticeship in the craft. Her final project was complex, using a combination of materials and techniques, along with a unique presentation.
Eva is creatively developing partnerships with authors and has been invited to work with a literature awards ceremony to custom-design and make the prizes that will be presented to winners. In addition to novels, she can also create many other, similar things for her clients - such as personalized journals, notebooks, envelopes and portfolios.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Eva about how she discovered the art and craft of bookbinding, the journey she’s taken to develop her skills, the relationships she’s creating with authors and why she’s excited about the doors opening in front of her.
