Merry Christmas





At the Koffler Gallery.  Sara Angelucci's contribution to "We're in the Library" dedicated to the opening of the new Artscape building on Shaw St.  Sara had us make concertina books of increasingly dark prints made from tintypes of 10 unidentified schoolchildren.  The children "disappeared" as the prints darkened to obscurity.  The books were then  housed in clamshell boxes that also hold the original tintypes and the books and boxes displayed on a custom made library cart equipped with headphones on which are playing children's voices  reading stories.  This was a project that we got more and more attached to as it neared completion.  See the article in this week's NOW magazine.
Congratulations Sara.


UPCOMING COURSES:
Gothic Bookbinding and......

and a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
from Don, Kate, Reg, Laura and Lee.
(Kate did this Xmas binding just for you.  Well actually it was a movie prop but it fits here)
