[BKARTS] Rigid Page Binding Workshop in Atlanta

[Ann Frellsen <ann.frellsen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rigid Page Binding Workshop
Two-day workshop with Alicia Bailey
Saturday and Sunday, March 18 - 19, 2006  9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
In the R. W. Woodruff Library at Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia

Using rigid pages allows an artist to work with materials such as 
Plexiglas, glass, wood and metal or cardboard.  Such techniques are 
particularly useful for an artist working with sculptural book forms.  
In this workshop three different rigid page structures are taught 
through model building.

The first model is adapted from Keith Smith's many explorations of 
sewing single sheets and across the spine bindings.  The second is 
adapted from Hedi Kyle's Mongolian Book Structure and works especially 
well with sandwiches of layered, transparent materials.  The third model 
is one of Alicia's own design and utilizes Tyvek hinges sandwiched 
between pairs of rigid boards.  All of the models will be constructed 
with binders' board but demonstrations and discussions for preparing and 
using other materials, such as glass, ceramic, wood and metal will be 
part of the workshop presentation.  All model supplies will be provided.

The rigid page workshop doesn't require binding experience and may 
appeal to artists in other fields, particularly painters and sculptors, 
who are interested in developing their work into a more interactive format.

Instructor Alicia Bailey of Denver, Colorado has worked as a studio 
artist for 25 years in a variety of two- and three-dimensional medias, 
focusing on the book form for the past ten.  A familiarity with so many 
materials is invaluable to her approach to the book form as interactive 
sculpture. She has been a visiting artist at high schools and colleges 
throughout the US and has books in numerous public and private collections.
