About the Instructor | Brian Lieske
Brian wandered into SFCB several years ago and continues to haunt the place. He completed both the bookbinding and letterpress cores as well as several of the summer historic structure classes. He enjoys making fully hand-sewn books and still fights to not over-tighten his kettle stitches. He’s lived in San Francisco for more than 20 years having arrived shortly after completing an MFA at the University of Texas at Austin.
Past Student Reviews:
“Brian did an outstanding job in his careful prep, his well-thought-out and detailed directions and demonstrations, and his patience and generosity of spirit."
“Friendly and encouraging.”
