Betsy Roe (Gallery educator and associate curator) along with Brea Black (Special Collections librarian) showed people how to make paper today! Each person got to strain it through a screen and then "roll it up like a burrito" to take home, unroll and dry out.

Herakles and the Eurystheusian Twelve-Step Program, 2009
Paper, letterpress, twine, thread, leather, fabric
Edition of 110: Foolscap Press, Santa Cruz, CA
TSCPL Permanent Collection
If you read your Greek mythology you’ll find that everything I’ve written about Herakles is true. The twelve-step program I’ve written about is what at the time would have been called a set of Labors. Eurystheus didn’t have a lot of research to fall back on. He had to make it up as he went along. You have to give the man credit.

Portrait of Frederick Douglass
Douglass (1818-1895) by an unidentified artist. Courtesy National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Although this portrait is attributed to an unidentified artist, Dolly Stetson’s letter of April 15, 1845 suggests that Elisha Hammond, a member of the Northampton Association, painted Douglass’ portrait during Douglass’es visit to the Association in 1845.

Text, Image, Structure and Material"
Duration: 6:04 minutes
How many ways can a book tell a story? Words and pictures come to mind first, but have you ever wondered if the paper itself or the shape of the book might have something to say as well?
We hope this short video will give you a brief overview of the four ways we believe the books in this exhibit tell their stories.

Dr. Tony Silvestri from Washburn University showed us how he’s keeping this complex craft alive today. Offered in conjunction with "Telling Stories", our current book art exhibit.
