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.
