Medium and Message: Publishing Formats Through the Ages
Instructors: Linda Quirk and Michaela Stang (Bruce Peel Special Collections). Description: This hands-on in-person workshop offers the opportunity to consider the impact of a wide variety of print formats, from tablets and scrolls to horn books and broadsides and from triple deckers and artists’ books to miniatures and elephant folios. Participants will have the opportunity to examine a wide variety of material elements–such as size, format, images, typography, etc–in order to draw their own conclusions about the ways in which medium both does and does not change the impact and meaning of text and images. This in-person workshop is open only to the University of Alberta community and is capped at 8 participants.
The website for Bruce Peel Special Collections offers detailed information about this series of workshops as well as information about research and exhibitions.
