How it all began...
My name is Erica, and I am the artist behind Absolutely EVO. My love of bookbinding all started back in college when I took a book arts class while pursuing my BFA in Art Education. Shortly after taking that class I started working for the Conservation Lab of the University Library where I worked to repair, preserve, and conserve old books. Some of the books I worked on were hundreds of years old. There was something special about working to save the history contained in the pages of those books, and it inspired me to start Absolutely EVO- a small handmade business that creates leather sketchbooks, notebooks and journals to help preserve the unique and special stories of everyday people. With my attention to detail, high quality craftsmanship, and use of only the best materials, you can be sure your thoughts, dreams, and memories will be preserved in a beautiful handcrafted book that can be cherished for years to come.
