VENERATE, VENERATE! – Artists’ Book Mark-Making WorkShop

@ The GREYSTONE Collective

4733 South Forrestville Avenue

Opening Friday, June 21st, from 6PM - 8:30PM

On view through Saturday, July 6th

Join The GREYSTONE Collective’s featured artist Talia Kimberly Wright for “Binding Our Stories,” an interactive bookmaking workshop. Over three days, from 6pm to 8:30pm on June 21st and from 2pm to 4:30pm on June 22nd & 23rd, participants learn both simple and complex bookbinding methods and make their very own books (materials provided). Wright contextualizes the history of the artists’ book and makes time for group discussion and critical investigation of The GREYSTONE Library’s growing collection of artists’ books. By the end of the three-day workshop, participants leave with at least one hand-made book and resources for future projects. The experience also includes “Beyond the Page,” a visit to the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection at the John M. Flaxman Library at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago.

Free and open to the public. Space is limited, RSVP is required at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/911459569107?aff=oddtdtcreator.
