Helen Warren DeGolyer Award winners

The 6th Helen Warren DeGolyer Triennial Competition and Exhibition
for American Bookbinding took place Friday, June 8, 2012 at Bridwell
Library, Southern Methodist University and it was a great day!

There were 31 entrants in the competition (almost a doubling from
last Triennial's participation); great workshops by Karen Hanmer,
Shanna Leino, and Chela Metzger; a superb and personal luncheon
presentation by Priscilla Spitler on her design and realization of
the binding from that 2009 award-winning design; many moving
memorials to Jan Sobota; and a wonderful awards ceremony and
exhibition opening--the Bridwell Library staff did a fantastic job
of everything!

The winners at this Triennial's competition are:

    Jana Pullman
    2012 Award for Design

    Eleanore Edwards Ramsey
    2012 Award for Excellence in Fine Binding

    David John Lawrence
    2012 DeGolyer Award for American Bookbinding
