Adventures of the Wandering Book Artists
IN THIER GYPSY WAGON BOOKMOBILE

"We have been making artist's books for over 30 years together. Long ago as craftspeople at Renaissance faires we fell in love with the "gypsy wagons" that vendors built to sleep in and sell their wares from. This gypsy wagon is taking us around the country to sell our books, teach book arts workshops, talk about books and see the beauty in the USA."

WNYBAC is pleased to present this rare opportunity to learn this unique binding structure from its originators

The Scrolling Book: In this book the scrolling page takes the place of the text block in a case bound miniature book. You will make the unique and innovative "scrolling book," a binding structure created by Peter and Donna to fuse Western and Eastern bookbinding structures.
