Classes - Fiber ArtSession Ten/August 2 - 6BookmakingDolph Smith All Levels Studio 5 Day class (9am-4pm) Tuition: $275 Materials: $30 Master bookmaker, Dolph Smith, brings humor and whimsy to this class. Initially, class emphasis will be on a clear understanding of the traditional multi-sectioned binding. Next, the emphasis will shift to thinking of the book as a small, kinetic sculpture. Students will make covers and text blocks with moving parts. The goal will be to allow moving parts to be in concert with pop-up. Attention to the front and back covers will be a strong part of the content, with the book block left for future work. Students should complete 2-3 finished books, but just as importantly, will take home some unfinished works in progress. Dolph will encourage and help develop student ideas from all areas – including left field! Dolph Smith, from Ripley, Tennessee, has a B.F.A. from Memphis College of Art. In 1995, he was elected Professor Emeritus and in 2004 received a Doctorate of Fine Arts honorary degree. Also In 2004, he was profiled in “The Penland Book of Handmade Books”, and was a member of their faculty in the late 1990's. In October, 2006, Dolph had a major retrospective at Mid-South Community College in West Memphis, Arkansas, sponsored by the Rocky Smith Foundation in which “Dolph Smith Day” was declared. Dolph is presently working from his studio called “Tennarkippi on Hurricane Hill” in western Tennessee. |
