COSPONSORED WORKSHOP

Medieval Metal, Modern Models
May 4th & 5th, Friday & Saturday, 9:00-5:00

The Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers and the Book Arts Program present Peter Madden. Taking cues from the elaborate religious icons of Medieval and Renaissance Europe, construct wooden triptychs featuring imagery printed on fabric. Theatrical yet intimate, these sculptural structures recall books, houses, boxes, lockets, and shrines. Completed pieces feature images or icons highlighted by patterns, textures, and embellishments. Learn simple metal-working techniques and methods for hinging covers such as constructing handmade hinges from scrap metal. Create a portable, personal triptych and leave with the knowledge and inspiration to create more without the need for special equipment or tools.

Peter Madden’s unique handmade books are collected by and exhibited
in museums throughout the world. His work has been featured in publications
about artists’ books and alternative photography. He has received numerous
fellowships, grants, and awards. Peter is on the faculty of the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and teaches and lectures across the country.
