["Peter D. Verheyen" <verheyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The University of the West of England is offering two summer schools 
led by renowned book artist Guy Begbie:

Bookbinding for artists Summer School Led by Guy Begbie
Dates: 16 ? 20 July 2007, time: 9.30am ? 4.30pm (lunch provided each day)
Price: £225 per person
The book is a viable, visual medium that can provide links and 
meeting points between many art disciplines such as print, painting 
and sculpture. It is perhaps the most intimate, easily accessible and 
portable of all the art forms. In this intensive five-day course both 
traditional and unorthodox bookbinding structures will be taught. The 
course is designed to be appropriate for people with or without 
previous experience.
Limited to 10 participants.

Laser Cutting and Book structures for artists books Summer School Led 
by Guy Begbie and Claire Humphries
Dates: 23? 27 July 2007, time: 9.30am? 4.30pm (lunch provided each day)
Price: £300 per person
The course covers laser cutting papers, and paper structures and 
bindings for book artists.  Laser cutting machines are a fast and 
effective method of cutting, engraving/etching and marking papers, 
textiles, wood and many types of plastics. The use of this technology 
in many industries has massively increased over recent years.  The 
University's Centre for Fine Print Research has been developing its 
flat bed laser facilities since 2004. The centre, in collaboration 
with Senior Research Fellow Janet Stoyel, has pioneered methodologies 
for artists, designers and craftspeople. Within the wider university 
the laser facilities have been utilised by various departments, one 
of this year's success stories being textile student Megan Taylor, 
winner of the DKNY prize at New Designers. The centre has three laser 
machines for cutting wood, paper and plastics. Claire Humphries has 
worked in industry for four years specialising as a laser consultant 
mainly within the textiles industry. Her most recent projects have 
focused on promoting the use of laser technology throughout the 
design industry.
Limited to 10 participants.

We can offer a 25% discount to participants booking onto both summer 
school courses.
