Artists

In my art college typography class we had a two special mini classes at a book binders! I got to make two book - single signatures.

Then 20+ yrs later when I lived in Brooklyn the Central Library which I was blessed to live near-ish by had an exhibit on Artist (Unique) Books where the artist uses the various book forms from single fold, to multi signatures, scrolls, acordian, etc as their substrate/canvas.

Another about 10 yr later when a B&N was going out of business I was going to the craft section off & on. On the last day ~ as if it was waiting just for me bc it was eye level smack dab in the middle was a book on Artist books!

I bought it.
Then took out library books on creative book binding. I relearned, and learned new styles. So I've done a few small ones. Unfortunately I may have lost most in an urgent move.

I do plan to do a few modest ones this year.

I just remembered actually my first bookmaking was in Art HS! Did an acordian book. 🥰 TY, Mrs. Winston.
