Sharing Adventures with the Wandering Book Artists

09/28/2010

The Gypsy Wagon Bookmobile will be parked on the south end of the Wells Library parking lot from 9-12 Tuesday morning and there will be books to see. In the afternoon from 2 - 7 the wagon will be in front of the Lilly Library.


Since 1976, Peter and Donna Thomas have worked collaboratively and individually, making paper, letterpress printing and book binding, to create books. Under the previous imprint of The Good Book Press, and the current imprint, Peter and Donna Thomas: Santa Cruz, their books have been shown in individual and group exhibitions in the USA and abroad, and have been purchased for collection around the world. They are very active in the book community and particularly skilled in the ways of miniature books. The Lilly Library has one of the premiere collections of miniature books, thanks to the generosity of Ruth E. Adomeit, and is a great stop on their wandering road.


Schedule: The wagon will be open for viewing from 9-12 and from 2-4:30. Peter and Donna will also be working in the Graphic Design department Letterpress Shop from 9-4. They will give a lecture at the Lilly Library beginning at 5:00pm.
