Exploring the Handicrafts in Book Arts
Book and paper artists have the ability to work with an enviable palette of artistic materials and techniques—including traditional handicrafts. Think knitting, embroidery, sewing, beading, felting, needlework, stitching, quilting and other myriad possibilities.
Combine these techniques and materials with a strong concept, meaningful content or a compelling narrative and we have a new era in the art and fine craft of book and paper. With this exhibition we seek to dispel the myth that the handicrafts don’t have any part in meaningful art. This international juried exhibition includes artists from across the United States plus the United Kingdom, Canada and Argentina.
