August 25- September 28, 2008
The purpose of "Book Arts: Dialogues and Languages" is to familiarize Drake University students with the collaborative process among writers, printmakers, and bookbinders that takes place in the production of fine print books. For this reason, a cycle of short lectures was planned for the month of September, 2008, and it included a workshop and demonstrations on the topic of printing, bookmaking, and writing, giving special attention to works written in languages with non-Latin alphabets. Here is a video archive of the events:
Peggy Johnston - Book binding
Rick Von Holdt - Fine printmaking
Miwa Okamoto - Japanese Callygraphy
Qi Shi - Chinese Callygraphy
