   La Luna Textiles is a collection of leather and fine paper journals created by bookbinder & leatherworker Kelsey VanDemark. Kelsey has been creating books since 2015 within a variety of landscapes; these landscapes play a part in the story of her work and life, which is a relationship to place. This transition of place is reflected in the evolution of her work and the materials sourced to create each piece. Inspiration is found in natural materials such as flowers, crystals, bone, beads and textiles. All journals are created with peace and care to embody mindfulness and the spirit of slowing down to intentionally connect with our creativity and inner world.

​

Kelsey attended courses at the American Academy of Bookbinding in Telluride, Colorado. She studied the Fundamentals of Full Leather Binding with Don Glaister (2022) and 17th Century Gothic Wooden Boards Bindings with Anne Hillam (2023).

​

Kelsey was selected as one of the Top 3 Artists at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery Clothesline Festival in 2021.
