Keith Taylor Studio

Studio News — Spring So far this year, the studio has been crazy busy with orders for cases and other interesting projects. This case for Christopher Selleck’s project FLEX holds six books (made by Christopher)…

I've written up a quick blog post about a couple of cases I've been working on lately.

This is clamshell case I made for @lnebenzahl.bsky.social to present both her prints and 3D constructions. The case measures 13.5 x 19.5 x 4” with a removable set of dividers and a panel to separate the prints. It’s finished in Cadet Blue Japanese bookcloth with matte gold foil stamping.

A blue book cloth covered clamshell case, closed, with a label.

The clamshell case open with two matted gelatin silver prints laying on top.

This case was made during a workshop I taught. Not only was it to demonstrate how to make a case, but also how to easily make a well in the cover to hold a label of some kind, an alternative to foil stamping. In this case, I used my business card. The prints are 4x4" and printed in gelatin silver.

A clamshell case for local artist Gary Welton, for a series of drawings and text pages. The size is 12 x 9 x 2″ and covered in a soft olive green leather. The inside trays are in a Japanese black and gold mohair Asahi book cloth, with the covers and spine foil stamped in gold.

The same clamshell case and album, but with it open to a photograph of a group in a church.

This is a screw-post album and clamshell case I made for a client's grand-daughter's First Communion in Spain. I printed the images on double-sided Hahnemühle paper and foil stamped both the case cover and album in gold.

This is my Bluesky account for the work I make for, and with, other photographers and artists. Mostly prints in platinum, polymergravure or gelatin-silver, and book binding services and clamshell cases.

My personal photography can be found at my other account @thedarkprints.bsky.social.
