This is the second time that I have attended the CODEX Biennial Book Fair and Symposium, and again, I came away having learned more valuable information about book arts and collecting.
Return from CODEX 2019
Playing with Book Cloth
For this project, I wanted to see if I could make a solid color book cover, then cut out portions of it, and inlay a different color book cloth. Then I wanted to see if I could create a drawing or design on the lighter colored cloth.
Tabletop Platen Press
From this first experiment in using a tabletop platen press, I learned that the use of the ink itself is going to be a critical skill to learn just like making and using paste is in bookbinding.
CODEX Book Fair and Symposium
Registration is open for the CODEX Book Fair and Symposium in February.
Book Arts Studio Construction Update
Framing has finally begun on the construction of the studio space for printing and book arts.
