Today I would like to highlight two exciting workshops that will allow you to engage with your inner artist and learn more about artists’ book processes and structures. First, the Letterpress Printing Workshop<http://sched.co/8koH> will allow participants to explore typesetting using both metal and wood type and to print assembled text using a hand operated cylinder printing press. This workshop will be taught by book artist, designer, and printer, Jessica Peterson<http://papersouvenir.com/about_me>. Jessica owns The Southern Letterpress<http://thesouthernletterpress.com> in New Orleans and will be hosting participants at her press. The cost of the workshop is $75, which includes transportation and supplies. There is a limit of 10 participants for this workshop (taking place on Sunday, Feb. 5 from 1-4pm) so don’t hesitate to sign up if you are interested! Next, the Folded Book Forms<http://sched.co/8koR> Workshop, facilitated by Alicia Bailey of the Abecedarian Gallery<http://www.abecedariangallery.com>, will allow you to delve deeper into the innovative book structures that fill many artists’ book collections. Participants will use paper and basic tools to produce a set of sample books that can be used for reference and inspiration for future projects. Structures will include the Blizzard/Crown Book, Reverse Hinge Binding, Woven Accordion, and time permitting, the Turkish Map Fold. No previous experience is required. This workshop (taking place on Monday, Feb. 6 from 8am-12pm) has a cost of $60 and is limited to 12 participants. Sign up today! Look out for forthcoming posts highlighting the career and skill development workshops on offer in New Orleans! -Kristina Keogh, Workshops Coordinator ---- Kristina Keogh, PhD Director of Library Services Ringling College of Art and Design 2700 N Tamiami Trail Sarasota, FL 34234-5895 941.359.7582 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
