On Friday, December 12, Jamie Beth Weaver, Fulbright ETA and talented interdisciplinary artist, offered us a delightful introduction to bookbinding through an arts & crafts workshop held at the Fulbright Educational Advising Center. Jamie gave us an overview of the art and patiently guided us through the process of making a handmade book. By the end of the workshop, each of the 8 lucky participants – mainly students and arts & crafts enthusiasts - could proudly present their own “drum leaf” book, a perfect Christmas gift for a loved one, and all voiced their hope for a repeat.
Many thanks to Jamie for kindly agreeing to initiate us into the art of bookbinding! You can see more of Jamie Beth Weaver’s impressive work on her website: http://jamiebweaver.wordpress.com/.
