Bookbinding Presentation with Local Artist Jessica Ream
Advertisement
Do you love an old book? Do you love a good journal? (Even if it is just for collecting rather than filling). Have you ever been curious about how either one is made? Better yet, ever wanted to make your own?
Join local artist and bookbinder, Jessica Ream, for an evening of book chat to learn all about the ins and outs of how she creates her one of kind journals from linen, leather and repurposed old books. You will get to play with the different bookbinding tools, watch some live demos, ask all the questions your curiosity conjours and even get your hands messy making a small journal of your own. Just kidding, it wonβt be messy, but it will be fun!
Jessica Ream was born in Columbus, Ohio early in the year 1990, but was raised in Carolina suburbia. She attended Savannah College of Art and Design where she graduated with honors and a BFA in Painting. A jack-of-all trades artist, she incorporates her knowledge of painting, photography, print, sewing and sculpture into her mixed media, abstract pieces. In recent years, she has rediscovered her love of hand binding books. While mainly self taught, she was first introduced to the world of book arts in a workshop she attended while studying abroad. Her hand bound journals are made from a mix of traditional materials and rebound, vintage books. After spending time in the High Rockies of Colorado, she and her husband have returned to their southeastern origins, where they reside with their son and newborn daughter.
