Celia Cook has been bookbinding since 2022. While earning her MA in Creative Writing from Ball State University, she was awarded a research grant to develop her skills and knowledge in the book arts with Mikayla Galgerud. As she continues to explore the book arts, she hopes to share her craft with others. When not bookbinding, Celia is busy writing two books, buying too many cardigans, and baking banana bread out in Baltimore. You can find them on Instagram @belia.book!
