About the Workshop
This virtual workshop with Center for Book Arts founder Richard Minsky presents a methodology for book art self-critique, curatorial selection, and criticism based on the balance of material, image, and metaphor. Several other critical methodologies for book art are explored, including haptic, metadata, and activist. Each participant brings a work for discussion: artists should bring their own works, and curators, critics, collectors, and dealers can bring whatever work they would like to discuss. Each participant will schedule a private Zoom session with Richard in advance of their presentation to the group.Required materials
- A reading list will be sent to participants 3 weeks before the start of this workshop.
- Participants should bring a work of book art to present in the critique group. In-process works are welcome to be presented.

This class provides an open space for the critical and civil exchange of ideas.

The views and opinions expressed by any individuals during this workshop are their own and do not necessarily represent the views, opinions, or positions of Center for Book Arts. Minsky adds "This course comes out of years of trying to figure things out long before I had the words to say them. So I ask that participants bear with me if I revert back to rambling stream-of-consciousness outdated crude language. I use an occasional cuss word. I hope you won't be too bent out of shape by that!"

Chic, sturdy, and perfect for entertaining
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
This bar cart is exactly what I was hoping for. The gold finish gives it a really elevated, high-end look without the high-end price tag. It fits perfectly into my space and instantly makes the area feel more put together.
Assembly was straightforward, and once built, it feels sturdy and well-balanced. The wheels roll smoothly, which makes it easy to move around when hosting or rearranging. I also appreciate the three-tier design, it holds a good amount without feeling bulky.
I’ve styled it as a bar cart, but it would honestly work just as well as a coffee station or decorative piece. It’s one of those items that’s both functional and aesthetic.
Definitely a great buy if you want something stylish that still feels practical.

Beautiful Bar Cart
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
Beautiful and very sturdy. It took about 1 hour to put together. The directions was a little confusing when it came to the middle bar that connects C & D. Make sure the middle bar is down facing so the marble slab will lay flat. Other than that, beautiful piece , great quality and perfect size.

Nice
Color: Gold
Ask pictured. Shipped very fast. Very easy to assemble. Very stable. The wheels are a plus to where you are entertaining. You can actually roll the whole cart around which is a plus for me, especially when I am entertaining multiple guests. Looks really beautiful. Got tons of compliments on it made of good material and very sturdy.
