    ONLINE - Floating Panel Book with Andrew Huot

    The floating panel book, or panel panorama, is a book structure invented by book artist Hedi Kyle.

    This structure is based on the accordion book but has hinged panels that display flat to the viewer. 

    These panels swivel and can show a set of images both on the front and back of the structure.

    Andrew Huot is a book artist, bookbinder, printer, and conservator in Scarborough ON where he operates Big River Bindery, a studio for bookmaking, letterpress printing, and book conservation. He holds a Masters in Book Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a BS in Printmaking from Portland State University.

    His artists’ books use photographs, linoleum cuts, and text to share the humorous side of everyday life around us. His artists’ books are in collections across the country, from the Art Institute of Chicago to Yale University. Andrew teaches online and in his own studio, taught at the University of Illinois School of Information Science and workshops across the US and in Canada at CBBAG, the John C Campbell Folk School, Book Arts LA, the International Preservation Studies Center, and the Guild of Book Workers, among others.

    ONLINE - The Flexagon Book with Maria G. Pisano

    A Flexagon book springs to life when opened, like a flower. Using inspirations from nature, we will cut our own stencils to create our unique designs and bring them all together to bind this wonderful book.

    Discussion, planning and designing a book structure with self-generated content is a way to begin to understand the important connections between the two, the interaction and support of the chosen theme. Making a book is a gestation process.

    Once you have an idea, how do you begin to put your idea into practice? What tools do you need? What media? Skills one learns in one workshop are transferable to your next endeavour.

    Maria G. Pisano is a book artist, printmaker, curator, and educator. Memory Press works are represented in The Library of Congress, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, National Library of Medicine and many more. Her book Caudex Folium is currently in the exhibit Towers Rising, at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in NYC. She curated Crossroads: Book Artists’ Impassioned Responses to Immigration, Human Rights and Our Environment, at the Hunterdon Museum of Art, NJ. She contributes to book arts publications and gives workshops nationally and internationally, at her studio, libraries and institutions such as Bridwell Library, TX and Center for Book Arts in NYC.

    ONLINE Bookbinding 1: Home Study - Guided Stream

    The purpose of the Home Study- Guided Stream programme is to make bookbinding education available to CBBAG members who cannot take advantage of in-person workshops.

    Mentor:  Barbara Helander

    Location: ONLINE using the Thinkific platform and Zoom

    Online workshop access starts: Monday, November 13, 2023

    Duration: 8 months – November 2023 to July 2024

    Course fee: $700 members / $760 non-members (incl. one-yr CBBAG membership)

    Additional postage costs not included in course fee:

    • mailing of workshop material kits from Ontario, invoiced and payable following registration Materials kits will be sent out end of August/early September 2023
    • mailing three projects for critiques to and return postage from Ontario payable directly to the mentor

    Prerequisite: none

    MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 10 students

    Registration closes Monday, August 21, 2023, 11:59 PM

    Prior to registration, all interested participants must read this pdf which details the guidelines and expectations of the Guided Stream of the Home Study Programme. Registration for the workshop functions a formal agreement to these guidelines, whether or not they have been read.

    Bookbinding 1 is the first workshop in CBBAG’s core curriculum and introduces the variety of tools, materials, sewings, and constructions fundamental to hand bookbinding.

    Using the Thinkific online teaching platform, the workshop is a series of lecture-style videos, direct demonstration videos, and how-to pdfs housed into modules. The workshop will start with the making of a simple pamphlet and proceed to the binding of two hard cover books.

    Using an online platform allows Mentors to have easy interaction with participants and allows participants to connect and support each other by encouraging discussion, questions and sharing of ideas. There will be a total of 4 Zoom meetings, during which the Mentor will lead a review of the group's project submissions, discuss challenges, and answer questions, emulating the in-person workshop more closely.

    CBBAG will be providing a project materials kit to registrants as part of the workshop fee (postage will be extra).

    The Guided Stream has requires participants to submit their completed projects by postal mail to their Mentor and this online environment allows for better feedback with live Zoom meetings to review submissions and for the whole group to learn together, mimicking the in-person workshop more closely. In total, participants will work through more than 15 individual projects, with 3 sets of submissions spanning 8 months with new modules opening up every 7-8 weeks. Participants are responsible for postage for all the submissions, to and return and is payable to the mentor directly.

    The online, 24/7 delivery of the workshop is designed for an independent type of learner who needs a flexible schedule for learning and is unlikely to be able to attend an in-person workshop.

    Successful completion of Bookbinding 1 in the Guided Stream qualifies participants to take in-person workshops that require Bookbinding 1 as a prerequisite.

    Barbara Helander holds two degrees (B.Ed., M.Sc.) and her major in both was Clothing & Textiles. Her professional career spanned over 35 years where she worked not only in apparel manufacturing but also as a professor of textiles at Seneca College.  Over the years, Barbara has been nurturing a small keepsake business that involved the creation of one-of-a-kind books; but now that she has formally retired, she can finally take bookbinding and the book arts off the back burner!  Barb has worked her way through the core CBBAG courses and was pleased to earn her certificate in the spring of 2010.  Barbara is one of the core curriculum instructors for CBBAG - she teaches BB1 which is the introduction to the fundamentals of the craft. She is also a mentor for CBBAG Home Study.
