Wallflower Bindery is owned and operated by Katy Starr-Baum in Asheville, North Carolina.

A practitioner of fine bookbinding since 2001, I specialize in the creation of design bindings for sacred texts and poetry.

I hold a Master’s in Library Science and a Diploma in Fine Binding from the American Academy of Bookbinding, where I also served as Managing Director from 2017 to 2020. My background includes professional training at the Art Institute of Chicago and years of crafting bespoke editions for universities, government agencies, and private collectors.

Now operating from my private studio in Asheville, I focus on creating heirloom-quality works that serve as unique art objects. Please use the Contact form to discuss your next project
