Mark Cockram

Mark was elected Fellow of Designer Bookbinders in 2001 and Brother of the Art Workers Guild in 2008. Member of the Society of Bookbinders and the Tokyo Bookbinding Club. After studying art and design at Lincolnshire College of Art, Mark worked as a free lance artist and designer. He discovered his passion for bookbinding and book arts whilst working in Paris. After graduating from the bookbinding course at Guildford College of Technology (Diploma in Fine Bookbinding & Conservation), he went on to study Japanese bookbinding and related subjects at 'Studio Livre' Tokyo and London College of Printing (BA (Hons) Book Arts and Crafts). Mark opened his first bookbinding studio in Lincoln in 1992 and Studio Five, London in 2003. He works in fine contemporary bookbinding, book restoration, book arts, printing and box art. Teaching various aspects of bookbinding, restoration and book arts in Studio Five, the UK, France, USA, India, the Philippines and Japan. His work is eclectic, once being described as the Christian Lacroix of bookbinding. Mark's diverse work is represented in public and private collections around the world, including the British Library and The New Museum of Liverpool. Since being elected Fellow of Designer Bookbinders he has been a regular Man Booker Binder.

Mark chooses to work within the traditional concept of book restoration whilst expanding into Contemporary restoration practices.

When restoring books in the traditional sense Mark tries to be as sympathetic to the book as possible. To keep as much of the original binding as is practical without loosing the intrinsic nature of the book. Hand dying leathers or staining papers to blend in, to let the book retain the grandeur of a bygone age for future generations to enjoy.

Contemporary restoration blends the old with the new. Much as an architect would design an extension to an historical building that highlights the marriage of the old and the new, so Mark works with the book. Contemporary Restoration allows the restored book to be reintroduced into the modern era.

A major theme of recent work has been to make more from less, to engage in up-cycling materials to make books. It is hoped that this research will lead to a more sympathetic way of working with the book, viewing the book; its' structure, manipulation use and enjoyment.
