Bradel Binding at The Center for Book Arts

This Saturday and Sunday (October 13-14) I'm teaching a Bradel Binding workshop at the Center for Book Arts in NYC. A sleek and solid book structure I often use in my own work. We'll root the structure in a bit of book history and will delve into techniques that are transferable to other structures as well.

Problems of Scale on Vamp and Tramp website

shows etc.

My book Problems of Scale is in Abecederian Gallery's Artists Books Cornucopia III and was the recipient of the SCAD purchase award. Follow this link and scroll down to April 25 to read about the book on Abecederian's blog: http://abecedariangallery.wordpress.com/.

Also this month, another book, Compendium of Domestic Incidents, is showing at San Diego Book Arts National Juried Exhibition.

Upcoming class

I'll be teaching the Bradel binding at the NY Center for Book Arts, February 18 + 19. I use this structure, or components of it, frequently in my own work- I like its elegant construction and streamlined aesthetic. More info here:
