This exhibit features 47 new works by our local instructors. These 28 book artists hail from a wide range of artistic disciplines and draw upon diverse mediums and techniques. Click on the images below, and you'll find an impressive variety of work: typographic books of poetry and prose, photography, solar etching, folded paper, Coptic bindings, polymer-clay book structures, calligraphy, eraser-carved block prints, altered books, accordion-fold structures, sculptural books, loose letterpress pages in handmade portfolios, scrolls, rubber-stamped text and artwork, clamshell boxes, miniature books, encaustic-dipped pages, handmade papers, and such unconventional book forms as a leather wallet and a cigar box. There's even a dress on display -- for reasons that viewers can puzzle over (enjoyably, I hope).

This diversity is first of all a reflection on a wonderful group of teachers, the Center's most important asset. But it is also a tribute to the vitality and elasticity of the book arts as a discipline.
