Events › Cincinnati Book Arts Society Reception with Gabrielle Fox Butler

Join the Cincinnati Book Arts Society (CBAS) for a special reception celebrating the current exhibition of contemporary book arts. This reception offers an opportunity to engage directly with artists, explore the craftsmanship and creative processes behind the works on view, and connect with fellow lovers of books, design, and the arts.

CBAS artists work across a wide range of techniques—from letterpress and binding to printmaking, papermaking, and experimental forms—reimagining what a “book” can be. The reception invites guests to experience these works up close while learning more about the vibrant local and regional book arts community.

This event will feature book artist Gabrielle Fox Butler. Gabrielle earned her diploma in Bookbinding from the Guildford College of Further Education in Surrey, UK, with the goal of becoming a book conservator. Since the 1980s, she has taught throughout England and America. Now based in Cincinnati, she travels often to care for collections, teach, and make miniature books. Miniatures are a particular interest to Gabrielle. She has received many awards for her work and it is collected by private, public and academic libraries around the world. Gabrielle is active with the Miniature Book Society and has taught at the American Academy of Bookbinding for many years.

Light refreshments will be provided.
