Date: October 19, 2012
Time: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Speaker(s):
Martin Frost
Location: The New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street, New York, NY 10029
A painting on the page-edge of a book has been a novel form of book decoration for centuries. When it is made to appear and disappear under gold it is particularly intriguing and never ceases to amuse. Martin Frost will provide a 60-minute illustrated talk on the genesis and progress of this little known form of book decoration. Examples and tools associated with the craft will be on display.
About the Speaker(s)
Fore-edge painter Martin Frost has been working from studios in West Sussex, England for 40 years. He has painted the edges of well over 3500 books including examples of the scarce all-edge, split and two-way doubles and now binds many of his books too. He has written a workshop manual, published articles and lectured to many major organizations interested in the art and craft of the book throughout the UK and the US. His work can be found in many national and international institutes and private collections. In addition to his lecture & workshop for the New York Chapter, Martin will be making a limited number of stops on his North American tour, including Rochester, NY and Toronto, ON. For more information on Martin and to view examples of his work, visit him at www.foredgefrost.co.uk.
