Guild of Book Workers Triannual Exhibition -  WILD/LIFE  (Zoom presentation)

Collins Memorial Library, University of Puget Sound with support from the Guild of Book Workers, Northwest Chapter.

This presentation is a collaboration with the Guild of Book Workers, Northwest Chapter, the Book Arts Guild, the Book Club of Washington and Puget Sound Book Artists.

We are delighted to welcome many members of the NW Chapter represented in the exhibit to talk about their work

The Collins Memorial Library is pleased to host this wonderful exhibit of works by members of the Guild of Book Workers. . Members were invited to interpret the theme of “wildlife” in any way they wish, be it literal or abstract, humorous or serious. In a biological sense, wildlife describes the myriad of creatures sharing this  planet, interacting and adapting, all connected to each other and their environment.  "Wild" also describes an untamable essence that survives despite the constraints of  society and culture. As craftspeople, knowledge of materials and keen observation of  how they behave (and often how they refuse to comply) is an integral part of the  practice of book making, and a reminder of how traditional bookbinding materials  originate in nature.
