2 7 Paper 11 18 Stocking your Studio The PCBA Resource Guide is, on the one hand, a practical catalogue of book arts resources. On the other, it is an 22 Schools and Workshops inspiration guide and jumping off point. We’ve listed na- tional and Bay-Area stores that sell the usual (paper, glue, 24 Selling your Artists’ Book thread) and the unusual (ribbon, scrap metal). We’ve left 26 Web Links white space for your personal notes. And in the margins, we’ve suggested starting places on the web for you to begin 28 or continue an exploration into book arts. The table of contents on the right may seem, at first glance, bare bones, but in this issue we’ve also included an extensive index.

The web is teeming with information and opinions on binding, supplies, and book arts in general. This guide could just point to several web sites and be done. But the Bay Area has a wealth of resources, and why order on-line when you can drive to a store, touch the paper, see the exact color and then trip across the very pattern you didn’t know you were looking for?

Of course the national sources have to be included. Since all the national suppliers have web sites with on-line cata- logues, we’ve listed only the site address, phone number and city & state of the supplier. For out-of-state suppliers with no web site, we’ve listed an email address if available.

The Resource Guide wouldn’t have been possible without the diligent prodding and of Debbie Kogan. And the PCBA members who compiled the lists (long list of names goes here.)

We hope you find the Guide useful. Please write or e-mail us with your suggestions of resources to include in the next edition or ways to improved the Guide. & 1 Bookmaking ☞The Criss-Cross Binding☜ with Kids The Criss-Cross Binding is one of my favorites because …

• The ribbon looks great • The weaving is easy • It spiffs up any , even drab, worn-out file folders • It’s a great showcase for sponged-painted Tyvek • Kids can take it apart to add more pages

Materials & Tools • For pages: Plain legal-size paper, 8½ x 14. Kids can fold 3-5 sheets (oriented landscape) in half as a group (forming a single signature). Or they can use a stack of loose sheets, cut to 8½ x 7. (Go with the loose-sheet approach if you want kids to add pages later.)

• For covers: Any sturdy paper. To make a folded cover, start with an 8½ x 14 sheet. • Binder clips To make separate front and back covers, cut two 8½ x 7 sheets. • Quarter-inch or 3/8-inch wide ribbon, cut in lengths of 36 inches. • Adjustable three-hole punch Step by Step 1 Using the guide on the reverse side, adjust 6 Working first with the ribbon on the front the holes in your punch. of the book, cross to the back of the book, weave it into the second hole (from back 2 Sandwich pages between covers, nesting to front) and repeat for remaining holes. folded paper into the cover fold or aligning loose sheets between front and back covers. 7 Working with the ribbon dangling in back Use two binder clips to hold pages and of the book, cross to the front, weave it cover(s) together during punching and into the second hole (from front to back) weaving. and repeat for remaining holes.

* Pizza boxes (unused!) make great containers for bookmaking supplies and ongoing projects. They’re light, easy to stack and don’t take up much space. Ask a parent volunteer to solicit local pizza places for donations, enough for one per student.

* Here’s an easy way for students to make cuts that #2—Lift-the-Flap Accordion are set in from the edge of the paper. • Open up your folded paper and cut along three of the creases, from the bottom edge Pass around a hole punch, to the middle fold. and have kids punch a hole on each line they need to • Refold your paper into a hotdog. cut.

“When kids make books, it makes the content more meaningful to them.” —2nd grade teacher

3 BACK-TO-SCHOOL BOOK RESOURCES

BOOKS, WEBSITES, WORKSHOPS & EVENTS MORE IDEAS FOR RAFT MATERIALS * Adapt the luggage tags often available at RAFT. Have each student personalize a tag as a backpack ID. But for a secret pal that you assign, not for themselves! Then collect all the tags, put them into a grab bag and let each child draw a tag and give it to the classmate whose name appears on it.

* Envelopes make great book bindings, so snap up colorful ones at every opportunity. Choose sizes that fit the little 8-panel books made from letter-, legal- and tabloid-size papers.

The simplest binding technique is to have kids glue the outside of one flap to the front (the side without the flap) of another envelope. Add as many envelopes as you like.

Ideas for Castle Books #3—T-Cut Accordion • Invite kids to think of fairytales and stories • Open up your folded paper and make a cut that feature castles.
