Magic Boxes with Emily Martin
October 20 & 21; 10am - 4pm
Kolarik Book Studio; 16 North Hall
University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA USA
A workshop introducing the construction techniques of this unique
box form. This intriguing variation on the Jacob's ladder makes a
lidded box with divided compartments. The lid can be opened in two
directions and different compartments are revealed depending on the
opening direction chosen. The Jacob's Ladder is a 2,000-year-old
Chinese toy. It and it's variations have many wonderful applications
for contemporary artist bookmakers. Construction and operation of the
Jacob's ladder will be demonstrated and students will assemble a
model of the magic box using a variety of patterned Japanese papers.
Participants should bring:
a bone folder, pencil, ruler, scissors, exacto knife or scalpel and
blades and glue brush.
Registration Fee: $65.00 for UI students and $75.00 for non-students
