29/30.04.10 Tracey Rowledge: Gold Tooling
Opportunities for studying finishing are not easy to come by. Tracey’s two-day workshop and lecture about her work is a practical introduction to the techniques she uses to tool images with gold leaf on leather. This course will give the beginner, and those who have some experience of gold tooling, the ability to practice on their own and to begin the exciting journey of becoming a finisher!

Tracey studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths' College, London and Fine Bookbinding and Conservation at Guildford College of Further and Higher Education, Surrey. Tracey’s work has been shown internationally and is held in various private and public collections. Tracey has received a number of awards for her work, the most recent being support from the Crafts Council to go on the 2008 Cape Farewell Expedition to Disko Bay, West Greenland.

Tracey is a member of the independent artists group 60|40, founded in 2008 by Tracey Rowledge, Clare Twomey
and David Clarke. Project by project, 60|40 aims to expand the environment and opportunities for the applied arts. Tracey is also a founding member of Tomorrow’s Past: an international bookbinding collective whose aim is to encourage an alternative and modern approach to rebinding antiquarian books.

17/18.06.10
(note corrected date) Paul Johnson: Paper Engineering
Thursday 6.30pm – evening presentation: A Suitcase full of Pop-up Books.
Paul Johnson creates amazing books from single sheets of paper that are architectural in structure with nothing added, nothing taken away, and no glue.

Paul Johnson is internationally recognised for his pioneering work in developing literacy through the book arts and as a book artist. He is the author of over fifteen titles including A Book of One's Own, Literacy Through the Book Arts and Pictures and Words Together. He is represented in most of the major collections in the USA including the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York and the Library of Congress, Washington DC. Last year he was awarded the Colophon Award from the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Art Guild for his work selected for their travelling exhibition ‘The Art of the Book, 2008.’

In this presentation Paul will show a wide range of one-of-a-kind pop-up books. Alongside his own work he will also show moveable books made by children, some as young as four years of age.
£2.00 for members (free to those on the Fri. course), £4.00 for non-members.

Friday 10.00am – workshop: The Book as Architecture.
In this workshop students will make models of several paper engineering techniques and assemble them into movable book forms. The aim of the workshop is that you will go away with a good working knowledge of how to make your own 3D books, and indeed how to make them into home-produced editions.

£20.00 (includes Thurs. Eveening). There may be an extra charge for materials.
