About Our Kits |
We are very proud of our book kits. We use the finest materials possible and are always on the lookout for new ideas. Each of our kits is a Volcano Arts exclusive. If our name is on it, you'll know that it was handmade right here in the Volcano Arts Studio.
-
Our leather is number 1 quality.
-
We use nothing but Davey Board, the industry standard. It's 100% recycled and acid-free (neutral pH). We do not use mat board.
-
The thread in our kits is always Irish linen - strong and durable.
-
Unless otherwise specified, we use 70 lb. text weight paper. It's heavy enough that you can write on both sides without worrying about bleed-through.
-
The watercolor paper we use is nothing but Arches.
-
Each kit has a 'difficulty rating' that will help you determine if you have the skills for a particular project.
-
Unless specifically stated, our kits make full size books, not miniatures.
In Your Words
I love your web site! I think I found it a couple of weeks ago by doing
a search on the web. (I was inspired to learn how to make a Coptic bound
journal after seeing them at a local street fair, so I searched the internet
for directions and help since I had nobody to ask. My first one took about 8
hours, and I'm hooked.) Your site has lots of great pictures and a very
helpful punching cradle I'm looking forward to using. You also offer lots of
pictures, ideas, and variety - 3 sizes of
awls and
2 burnishers -which I
really appreciate. Thank you! I don't buy much over the internet, but I knew
right away that I'd purchase from you. Somebody did a very good job of
designing your site. I may join one of your
swaps some day. :-D -- Anne F.
