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.
