About the book >.>.> About material technique and process draws thousands of artists and students from across the country and around the world. Bookbinding and papermaking have been among Penland’s most consistently popular classes and are taught by some of the finest practitioners. In these pages 10 foremost book artists all of whom have been instruc- tors at the school teach one of the tech- niques they commonly use in their work. Additionally each artist explains his or her influences and working methods in personal essays and has compiled a gallery of pieces by other renowned craftspeople who employ similar techniques. Eileen Wallace one of the contributors presents a book that works well with a variety of cover materials from paper to metal. Her techniques allow the cover boards to be pre- pared separately from the spine giving Wallace more freedom to explore decorative cover applications such as tooling and the use of inlays. “I don’t mind seeing how [a book] is held together” writes Wallace “At the same time there’s a side of me that craves elegance and simplicity and a little bit of mystery.
