construction of a finished flexible canvas-bound journal. The journal is
divided into three sections: 1) a section for notes and graphite
drawings; 2) watercolor sketches, and; 3) acrylic or mixed media
paintings.
All materials will be provided for the cover decoration and assemblage
of a finished book.
Discussion will include the "how to" personalize the journal for your
own specific requirements.

#3) COVERED BOXES
*Bob Muens, Instructor
A two-day workshop:
Saturday, Oct. 16, 2004, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Sunday, Oct. 17, 2004, noon - 5:30 p.m.
$100 (includes some materials)
A well-made, attractive box is an essential element in the presentation
and production of artists' books, collectable books, or special objects.
In this workshop, participants will construct two types of boxes: a
lidded box covered with decorative paper using bone pin closures and an
archival clamshell box: the lidded box is simple, quick, and versatile;
the clamshell provides not only an elegant home for any book but also
aids in its preservation. Boxes incorporate techniques that can be
applied to a variety of structures. Binder's board, book cloth, bone
pins, Japanese ribbon and PVA adhesive will be provided. A list of basic
tools and other supplies required for the class, along with parking
instructions, will be sent upon registration confirmation.
Limited enrollment.
