Sollas Bookbinding

These photo albums are made using Hahnemuehle hand-made Copper Press Paper, cream, 300gsm, or heavy cream, dark blue, or dark red card.

They can be made as hardcover albums with the spine covered in book cloth and the front and back covers with wax paper with images sunk into either the front cover or into both front and back cover. These images could be photographs of your own choice or other wax papers for colour contrast.

Alternatively, these albums can be made as coptic style books which show the stitching that holds the album together. The advantage here is that the album lays open perfectly flat.

The albums can be made with Pergamyn paper as protective layers between the pages, but they are perfectly functional without interleaving.

The formats can vary to suit the occasion captured, may that be a wedding, a christening, a holiday or some other type of creative journey.

The new wedding album edition shown to the left has just been finished. It features blue and burgundy bookcloth hard cover albums with seaweed heart or footsteps images inserted in the front cover. Alternatively, the front cover could feature one of my wax papers or a sample of the fabric of a wedding dress.
