Elize de Beer: 'I’m predominantly self-taught; over time, I just learned more and more of the processes.'

Elize de Beer is the owner and founder of EDB Studios and is a bookbinder with a background in book and paper conservation.

The bindery specialises in custom, small-run special editions, artist books, and enclosures.
