Pulp / Fiction: Expanding Book and Paper Arts Beyond Traditional Boundaries |Triangle Book Arts 

Join us in welcoming our newest exhibit, "Pulp / Fiction: Expanding book and paper arts beyond traditional boundaries" displaying unique and explorative 3D art created by 17 members of the Greater Triangle NC Book Artists (TBA) and curated by Kathy Bayard. TBA is made up of book artists, bookbinders, printmakers, calligraphers, papermakers, photographers, zine makers, collage artists, and paper artists. This exhibit features book and paper art exploring paper pulp, the Pulp Fiction genre, altered books, storytelling, paper weaving and creative bookbinding. Each art piece pushes the boundaries of book art and how one envisions books, stories and paper. 

Come meet the artists and also see a live book arts demonstration with Janet Guertin.

Learn about Coptic binding, an exposed stitch that allows pages to lay flat and has roots dating from the 2nd century AD. Janet Guertin will demonstrate the binding process and answer questions about this style that allows for endless creativity in paper, thread, and cover choices. A variety of examples will be on view. Feeling crafty? Her "Community Coptic" will also be on hand if you'd like to sew a signature to the ongoing project.

Join us for an enlivening evening of art, live music, community, and conversation. ✨ All are welcome. Admission is free.
