A Behind-the-Scenes Exploration of Paper Mechanisms by Shawn Sheehy

A presentation from the Form & Function from Afar Virtual Conference. Paper mechanisms bring interest to the printed page. The earliest known example—a sewn volvelle—dates to 1250; and for eight centuries various movable mechanisms have served to educate and entertain. The creator intends to engage the viewer with material on the page; but for people of the book, we find nearly as much of interest behind the page. In this technical demonstration, Sheehy will pull back the curtain and reveal the function of a number of classic mechanisms. He will also share examples from trade books in his collection. ---------------------------------------- Form and Function from Afar | A Conference on the Book and Paper Arts This three-day virtual conference on February 18-20, 2021 was conceived in 2020, when all of the conferences and events that normally take place were cancelled due to the pandemic. The instructors at Book Paper Thread were missing interacting with our community and thought that 50 - 100 people might join us for an online get together and sharing of techniques, resources, and ideas. Over 2200 people ultimately registered to view the conference in real time or via recordings of the sessions. We’re glad to share them with you here. About Book Paper Thread We are a collaboration of three teaching artists — Andrew Huot, Karen Hardy and Linda Marshall. When all our in-person teaching gigs were cancelled or postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic, we realized we’d have to change the way we taught. We met regularly to share our ideas and resources on how to best do that remotely. We launched our first online workshops in August 2020 and have been growing our catalogue of courses — learning how to do it better each time we teach. We cover a variety of topics in book and paper arts and offer different styles of workshop, from prerecorded month-long courses to live weekend workshops. We hope you’ll be interested in exploring a workshop with one of us. Visit our website at www.bookpaperthread.com
