BUREAU BLANK IS BUILDING BETTER BRANDS

The NY Public Library is hosting Crafternoons every few weeks. Come culture jam with me on Saturday—also, learn how to bind books and bask in the epic glow of Mike Perry, himself.

From their BLOG:

Saturday, November 14th – Handmade : Crafternoon at the New York Public Library
Time:  2:00 to 4:00pm

November’s Handmade: Crafternoon will be all about basic book making (both sewn bindings and not). Along with my co-host, Jessica Pigza,  our special guest will be the amazing, prolific artist Mike Perry. He will share his book arts expertise, and we’ll have lots of supplies on hand to share so that you can make your own handmade book!

Location: Stephen A. Schwarzman Building , 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, Margaret Liebman Berger Forum (Room #227, located in the northeast corner of the second floor)

Admission: FREE

Brian Dettmer does some pretty insanely amazing things with old books. He’s currently in the group exhibit at the MAD museum.

He also has a flickr site!
