Gallery - Trevor Jones

Trevor has been designing and making fine bindings for forty-five years, having been introduced to the craft by Arthur Johnson at Hornsey College of Art. He was a founder member of the Guild of Contemporary Bookbinders and, after they became Designer Bookbinders, was their President from 1983-85.

After five years of art and craft in Middlesex schools and twenty-five as a lecturer at St John's College, York, he retired from teaching in 1984 and has since concentrated on his designed bindings. The diversity of techniques he employs and the variety of his designs may be attributed to a constant need to surprise both himself and those who commission his bindings.

Trevor has exhibited widely in Britain and internationally, and his bindings can be found in institutions and private collections in the UK, Europe and the USA.
