Guest Speaker for July’s Monthly Meeting: Daniel E. Kelm
We’re excited to welcome Daniel E. Kelm as our guest speaker for the July Monthly Meeting. Daniel will share insights from his extensive background in the book arts and introduce Wire Edge Binding—a creative and innovative alternative to the traditional codex structure.
In Daniel’s own words:
“My presentation for the July 16 meeting will serve as an introduction to Wire Edge Binding (WEB), featuring a slideshow of my bindings to help illustrate the concepts discussed. I’m looking forward to answering questions about the structure’s potential and offering a preview of the upcoming online Wire Edge Binding workshop, launching in August 2025.”

There will be no Tips & Tricks.
Your Directors present a brief slideshow, followed by a wonderful presentation with Paul Jackson!
Boxes: Should we be Thinking Outside, Inside or Between Them?
Paul Jackson gives reasons why it is preferable to think between boxes, instead of thinking outside them, when creating new work. He gives tips on how to do this and shows examples from his own creative practice as a paper artist.
Paul Jackson has been a professional paper artist and paper engineer since 1983. He has taught extensively, including at the Royal College of Art in London, MIT in Boston and is a semi-regular instructor at the Centro del Libro in Ascona, Switzerland. He has written 45 books and been a consultant for many clients, including Nike, Disney and the Harry Potter movies. His folded artworks have been exhibited extensively. English born, Paul has an MA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London.
