Donald Glaister is an internationally
known designer binder. He began his career in San
Francisco over 25 years ago and was a leader of the
California Hand Bookbinders group. After moving his
studio to New England for a number of years, Don taught
binding in the Book Arts Program at the University
of Alabama. He currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio
with his wife Suzanne Moore, famous for her calligraphy
and design work. This lecture will focus on an editioned
artists’ book recently created by Don. Don has
given four other presentations to the Guild over the
years but it has been at least a dozen years since
he has been in Seattle. Don’t miss this chance
to catch up with Don’s projects.
This meeting will be the ANNUAL BOOK
ARTS GUILD business meeting and will have brief reports
from the Membership Secretary and the Treasurer. Book
Arts Guild Board officers will also be elected.

Unique
Ways to Bind Books
Eve Ingraham
Thursday,
April 17, 2003, 7PM
Manuscripts, Special Collections, University Archives
Allen Library Basement
This
presentation is alternately called Teaching Bookbinding
to Children, but is equally fascinating to book artists
of all ages and intents. Eve Ingraham is a teacher
of gifted education at Evergreen School, and is completing
her art endorsement at the Frye Art Museum. She incorporates
art into all her first grade classes, and has taught
bookbinding and paper art to educators.
Eve
will share with us 60 of her bookbinding models. Many
of these structures are easy to create, since the
initial intent was to teach them in the classroom.
Some are traditional examples; other complex structures
use non-traditional materials such as polymer clay.
The ingenuity of form, color, texture and arrangement
will surely animate your book imagination. Eve will
also share her organizational tips for teaching book
arts.
Eve
Ingraham is an active member of the Northwest Polymer
Clay Guild, Seattle Doll Guild, and the Pacific Northwest
Needle Arts Guild. Her work has been shown in museums
and galleries in Tucson and Seattle.
SHOW
YOUR STUFF
Please join us and bring your work
Thursday,

Yes,
its time again! This will be a wonderful opportunity
to share your
work and the work of other BAG members. The BAG Board
often gets requests
for an opportunity
for members to bring their past and current projects
to discuss successes, challenges, strategies, and
failures. This
gathering is a chance to see what other bookmakers
are doing, get advice on problems, alert others of
possible pitfalls, and hear about projects underway.
This program is very flexible. You need not present
anything formal; you can just bring examples of your
work. The works need not be books and may reflect
the broad range of creative work you are involved
in.

A Paper Holiday Show & Tell
December 1st, 2003
The
Book Arts Guild will host another Member Show &
Tell on Monday,
December 1st, 2003 at 7:00 pm, in the Manuscripts,
Special Collections,
University Archives, of the Allen Library basement.
The last couple of
Show & Tell events were very successful, so the
Guild has decided to host
another. Given the holiday season is upon us, the
theme for this event
will be holiday paper ornaments. Members are invited
to bring any examples
of their (traditional or not) holiday decorations,
keepsakes, boxes, etc.
Please share pieces whose construction can be easily
demonstrated, and if
possible, please bring extra copies of instructions
to share with others.
This is BAGs version of a holiday cookie exchange,
but not quite so
ephemeral!
