April Meeting Reflections
Our esteemed co-chairs, Jill Abilock and Elissa Campbell, led an exciting evening where everyone wore masks! Presenting Meet the Dremel – A Book Artist’s Dream Tool, Jill and Elissa gave information-filled demonstrations covering the basics of the rotary tool and its myriad applications for book arts.
The pair passed around samples of various materials on which they had used the Dremel to sand, cut, drill, etch, and carve surface designs. They also brought finished pieces to show how they have included these techniques in their own work. It was an inspiring evening, and doubly so to see so many people come out for the meeting. Thanks to all who attended, and extra special thanks to Jill and Elissa for sharing.
You can view images from the meeting on the B.A.G. blog.

We meet at the Unitarian Universalist Society Church located at 152 Pearl Street in Burlington, VT. We will be in the Sophia Fahs Community Room, a large room located in the basement. Click here for more information on directions/parking.
Program: Meet the Dremel – A Book Artist’s Dream Tool with Elissa Campbell and Jill Abilock
The Dremel is an amazing handheld rotary tool that can cut, grind, drill, etch, carve, polish, buff and trim materials ranging from bookboard, wood and linoleum to glass, ceramic tile, and metal.
Inspired by Jill Timm and her Amazing Dremel workshop, Jill Abilock and Elissa Campbell will share what makes the Dremel such a valuable tool in their studios. The first part of the presentation will include Dremel basics and how-tos, as well as live demonstrations on a variety of materials.
You will see how the Dremel can be used to:
- Carve linoleum into a handmade stamp
- Quickly and accurately drill holes in bookboard for intricate hand-sewn binding patterns
- Carve, cut, sand and finish wood
- Etch designs into ceramic tiles
- Buff, polish, deboss and distress metal
Elissa and Jill will also bring the sample books of materials they worked with in Jill Timm’s workshop, which, in addition to the above, include glass, mirrors, Plexiglas, and polymer clay.
In the later portion of the meeting, you will have an opportunity to try out a Dremel and experience for yourself what a handy tool it is!
What to bring:
- Dremel tool: Jill and Elissa each have only one Dremel. In order to enable the greatest number of people to get a hands-on feel for the tool, they have requested that anyone who has a Dremel and is willing to allow others to try it out please bring it to the meeting.
- Safety gear: There will be protective eyewear and face masks at the demo table. Anyone wishing to try out a Dremel will be required to wear both. Please note that regular eyeglasses alone are not considered sufficiently protective (there will be safety glasses available that fit over regular eyeglasses). In addition, there may not be enough face masks for everyone to have their own. If, for hygienic purposes, you prefer not to share, you may wish to bring your own face mask.
One final note: Anyone who suffers from asthma or other respiratory issues might want to bring a good quality face mask to wear during the meeting as there will inevitably be a fair amount of dust in the air.

February Meeting Reflections
In February, Jill Abilock gave us a taste of both the simplicity and extraordinary beauty of Japanese stab bindings. From the tiny book earrings to her larger sewn books, she showed inspiring examples of techniques including simple sewing, beading and wire work.
Particularly interesting was Jill’s method and inspiration for developing her own sewing patterns, using on-line resources as well as source books of Indian dot patterns. The hands-on portion provided us with take-home models of traditional patterns, and ideas for book projects of our own.
Thanks to all who participated, and particularly to Jill for sharing!

Jane guided us through the process of finding text, making text, combining text and images, and altering all of the above. The day went too fast, but all the participants came away with a new way to ‘read’ text, as well as some fine techniques to explore.
Thanks, Jane, for a terrific day.

Program: Decorative Japanese Bindings with Jill Abilock
Elegant in their simplicity, Japanese stab-bound books are also fun to make. Key to the book’s structure, the sewing pattern on the book is also its primary decorative element. Over the years, the basic Japanese stab binding technique – which produces an identical pattern on both the front and back covers of a book – has been adapted to create beautiful, intricate sewn patterns.
During the February meeting, Jill Abilock will share both her traditional stab bound creations (which vary in size from 1/2 inch-square to three feet long) as well as adaptations that include beaded bindings, hammered wire and intricate sewn designs. Jill will also introduce some of the amazing sewing patterns that have been created by other book artists, and offer tips and techniques for creating unique stab bindings of our own.
During the hands-on portion of the meeting, Jill will lead us in making models of several beautiful sewing patterns that can be used as templates for future books.
Jill will provide the materials for making the templates; just bring your enthusiasm and the following tools:
- Awl or needle tool (Jill will have some on hand, but please bring your own if you have one)
- Thread (waxed or unwaxed linen for bookbinding, four- to six-ply embroidery thread, cotton crochet thread (preferably size 10 or 12) or hemp thread of comparable diameter
- Needle with an eye large enough to accommodate your thread of choice
- Small scissors
- Pencil and eraser
- Ruler
January Meeting Reflections
The first meeting of the new year brought out a large group eager to experience Rebecca’s explorations of the Waterfall structure. After an inspiring show of web images and videos, Becky showed us models and finished products in which she adapted the structure to suit her ideas.
For the hands-on portion of the program, we cut, scored, and pasted the templates provided with (mostly) great success, and walked away with models of our own.
Thanks, Becky!
