Jacob's Ladder and Triangle Book: handout, models

These artists’ book structures function on numerous levels: as a codex held in the hand and read page by page in sequence, as a sculpture, and as a delightful object to play with. Both can be made in a home studio with minimal specialized equipment. Instruction will focus on both craft and content. Students will have the opportunity to examine a variety of finished pieces and models. Importance of creating and refining prototypes will be stressed.

These models were made as demos while teaching a bookbinding workshop. They may include marks or notes made to aid students. Colors and patterns will vary. Cutaway models revealing structural features are sometimes available.

Workshop handout not included with model but available separately: Nineteen-page workshop handout with tool and supply list. Please note this handout was written not to replace but to supplement an in-person workshop demo.
