Book Arts
Roundup
Greetings bookworkers!
On May 26 several bookbinders gathered to visit Steve Pratts workshop in Cove Fort. It
was a long drive but well worth it. He is one of the last repairmen for 100 year old presses and still
manufactures new cast iron presses. He gave us a tour of his shop and showed slides of his work.
After lunch we were able to tour Cove Fort, an historic pioneer fort.
Our next gathering will be at the Ink Spot Run shop in the Salt Lake Avenues and will be
announced in the next newsletter.
I am still working on my book for the Fantasy and Nonsense exhibit and cant wait to see your
entries. Dont forget the deadline for entries is July 1! Counterform is another exhibit that will be on
display at the Marriott Library during Standards; the show is open to all Utah book artists.
Monique Lallier will be coming to the bookarts program in July., teaching New Oriental
Bookbinding. This workshop will be co-hosted by the Marriott Library Bookarts program (see inside
for details).
Standards registration forms are out in the national newsletter register soon and dont
miss out! I am looking forward to having Standards in Salt Lake and hope that we will have some
volunteers to help out.
