Yesterday Mimi and I drove to Asheville to see BookOpolis at the Asheville BookWorks. What a great event! In spite of the terrible weather, BookWorks was packed from wall to wall with artists and art book lovers of all ages. There were demonstrations of printing, paper making, binding, and woodblock carving; participants were encouraged to print and bind their own small book; and there were books, books, books to admire and even pick up and examine. Here is just a small sampling of what we saw:
If you're in the Asheville area, you can still see the exhibition until October 2.
