About
Brandon (B) Harrington
[Bran • done • Hair • ring • ton] (he/him)B is a self-taught bookmaker, commmunity educator, and library worker based in Brooklyn, NY.
Books are connections. Brandon’s practice in bookbinding, paper arts, and printing is rooted in a decade of library work and community education. A student of liberationist praxis, Harrington believes in the power of creating, sharing, and preserving information to grow, sustain, & honor our communities.
Harrington’s book art re-interprets book objects of personal record (diaries, daybooks, journals, commonplace books, personal ledgers, etc.). His research focuses on the history of the book as an object of use, especially the cultural importance of notebooks. Harrington has trained at the Center for Book Arts and with the Columbia University Conservation Department.
