Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair

Joyce Hesselberth

We are busy, busy, packing our bags for the Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair this weekend (Nov 5-7, 2010). The Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair is a bienniel event for international artists, scholars, collectors, publishers, and book art fans. Now in its third decade, Pyramid has added contemporary printmaking to the mix and Spur Design will be there with a wide selection from our Spur Stor.

Exhibits and demos at the fair will include everything from paper-making, to books as architecture, to a drive by press (woodblock printing from the back of a van).

All of this takes place in the brand new, Silver Spring Civic Center. Hope to see you there!
