As a part of the 2010 El Día de los Muertos Exhibition and Celebration in Tieton, artist Fulgencio Lazo created a festive oversized sand painting.
This video from the Yakima Herald recorded the event.
We’ve been charmed by Portland, Oregon’s Monograph Bookwerks, a shining example of how an independent bookstore can thrive in the age of the digital reader, especially when its concept fills a niche.
Opened in May 2010 in the Alberta Arts district, the shop sells new and used art books and objects carefully curated by owners John Brodie and Blair Saxon-Hill. Even better, you can browse new arrivals on the shop’s Web site and Facebook page before visiting. Are you a fan?
Ed Marquand has logged some long, inspiring hours in the book arts studio in Tieton this month. Along with our printing and binding crew, he has been designing and refining the merchandise that we will feature in our new downtown Seattle store, Paper Hammer, located in front of the Marquand Books design studio. The shop opens December 2.
The shop and studios are at the corner of Second and Union, across the street from Benaroya Hall and kitty corner to the Seattle Art Museum. Paper Hammer will sell the chap books, notebooks, novelties, coasters, posters, cards, photo albums, limited edition books, and gift items that we produce in Tieton. The store will also carry a selection of books that we make for museums, collectors, and artists across the country. Carefully selected vintage and contemporary goods will round out our products.
Our new space also includes a small gallery, which will allow us to mount modest exhibitions and demonstrations about the work we do in Seattle and Tieton. Look for more to come about events and shows in the gallery space.
Paper Hammer will host an opening party December 2 during First Thursday. Save the date!
The Marquand Books-produced Leonardo da Vinci: The Mechanics of Man by Martin Clayton and Ron Philo just won a British Book Design and Production Award for best exhibition catalogue. Many congratulations to designer John Hubbard and the Royal Collection Publications team!
