Isabelle Ting: Bookbinder
Isabelle Ting is a professionally trained bookbinder and printmaker who has worked for clients such as the National Trust, the Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh College of Art, and has been involved with the WPBF since its inception. In 2007 Isabelle co-founded the Owl & Lion Gallery in Edinburgh's Grassmarket. In 2011 the gallery closed only for the Owl & Lion Bindery to rise like a phoenix from its ashes – only in West Port this time, which is obviously better. Isabelle may well be the busiest bookbinding teacher in Scotland, but she still finds time to appreciate owls and food. She originally hails from Australia, although her family traces its routes back to Mongolia.
