BOOKS THAT FLY. Conference, Summer School, and Competition July 2008

The University of Brighton, in partnership with the Edward Johnston Foundation, is running a set of three inter-related activities devoted to Book Arts: a conference, a summer school and a competition.

Collectively titled Books that Fly, all three activities will be held within the Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the Grand Parade campus of the University of Brighton in July 2008.

What is unique about this project is that it is a public programme that offers candidates at all levels the opportunity to participate in three aspects of Book Arts all at one venue.

Books that Fly is open to all with no entry requirements and participants can choose to take part in any or all of the three activities presented on the theme of Book Arts.

The project will begin with the conference in the Sallis Benney Theatre on July 5th, when we will also launch the competition and announce its theme.

This is followed by a non-residential two-week summer school from Monday July 7th to Friday July 11th and Monday July 14th to Friday July 18th. With workshops in bookbinding, traditional and experimental calligraphy, etching process, silkscreen multiples, letterpress, photographic processes, and digital type design; seminars and talks on aspects of marketing and self-publishing from Prof George Hardie, Jackie Batey, Sue Gollifer, Mark Pawson and Gerald Fleuss.

Call for entries application form published on 5th July. The themed competition submissions 1st and 2nd September. Cash prizes announced 12th September

The project's aim is to spread the word about Book Arts to a wider audience and to extend an invitation to share ideas that will support and encourage developments in the field of handmade books.

Fees: Conference £30. The standard fee for the summer school incorporating the conference is £530.
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT BEFORE THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS 16TH MAY £480
STUDENT DISCOUNT AND EARLY BIRD COMBINED £430
