Bookmaking at Red Bird
What makes Red Bird so special is every book is folded, scored, stitched, and “birded” by hand. Sometimes, it is a bookmaker working in her home in the quiet hours of the evening and sometimes it is a group of bookmakers who have come together around our table at our “nest” on a Sunday afternoon. The following video produced by Heather Quinn and narrated by editor Steve Merino is the making of Chiwenite Onyekwelu’s debut collection “Exiled.”
Enjoy!
Red Bird Chapbooks is an independent press specializing in handmade chapbooks and pamphlets.
