The ties that bind
Having come across Dennis Yuen's great paper and bookmaking blog CaiLun.info, full of enthusiasm and beautiful examples of handmade books, I thought I'd revisit a few book art links:
When I was researching evening classes in bookbinding at the University of Brighton, I came across Graeme Dawes' wonderful Japanese bookbinding site. This is the original version - I see he's got a new version in progress, expanded to cover new areas, which I'm really looking forward to seeing.
One day I would like to do the MA in Book Arts at Camberwell College of Arts - which the wonderful Tom Phillips has been involved with. Time and money don't permit at the moment, but maybe one day the right situation will fall into place.
Finally, I have to recommend a fantastic book - Creating Handmade Books by Alisa Golden. It's a great, inspiring read for anyone wanting to get into creative book forms, and full of beautiful photographs.
Edited to add: Having flicked through a couple of old sketch/scrapbooks, I found clippings about the Centre for Artists' Books at the University of Dundee; the website ArtistsBooks.com (the graphics aren't pretty, but it's worth a browse); and the work of Sarah Bodman.
