American Academy of Bookbinding

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

Dear Friends, Students, Faculty Members and lovers of books,

This is Deb Stevens. I am the administrative director for the American Academy of Bookbinding based out of Telluride, Colorado. This blog was started as a way for all of us, those who have studied at AAB, friends of AAB, as well as those who want to find out more about this place, can keep in touch with each other during the year. I'll be posting all kinds of photos, news and updates as regularly as possible (or newsworthy). I hope you will also share any bookbinding thoughts, questions, revelations, etc. Send me your photos and let us all know what you're up to. Keep connected!

FINISHING THE FIELD

After posting the previous entry yesterday morning, I walked into the studio to find order out of chaos! Tim and the students had organized all their work of the week into a display on one table and were deep in discussion of the accumulated work. For the first time all week we could see the visual product of all their creativity! So another post is in order!

Next up... Book As Art with Laura Wait on June 24, 25, 26. The class is filling fast of late and we look forward to another exciting experience exploring the design aspects of bookbinding as well as different styles of bookbinding. Then, throughout the summer, we will be hosting several classes offered by the Ah Haa School (ahhaa.org) until we resume bookbinding classes in the fall session - Fundamentals as well as Advanced bookbinding classes are available, Forwarding and Covering, and another great design class offering, Content to Concept to Object with Don Glaister and Suzanne Moore. If you've been thinking of taking a class, we encourage you to sign up soon!
