Brief bio for members directory listing (optional)
Peter and Donna Thomas are book artists from Santa Cruz, California. They work collaboratively, making both edition and one-of-a-kind books. They make the paper, print, illustrate and bind their books, combining the precision of the fine press aesthetic with the structural creativity found in contemporary artists' books. Between 2009-2019 they made four cross-country road trips, traveling in their artistic tiny home on wheels as the "Wandering Book Artists,” teaching classes and giving talks about the book arts as they visited university and community based book arts centers around the country. They are authors of More Making Books by Hand, and editors of 1000 Artists’ Books, and in 2021 The Legacy Press published a descriptive bibliography of their work: Peter and Donna Thomas: Bibliography, 1974–2020.
