  • Join the Book Arts Tool Map

    • 30 Jul 2026
    • 31 Dec 2026



    The Book Arts Tool Map focuses on large-scale and niche machinery such as board shears, guillotines, or fiber beaters for fellow artists with existing knowledge. To best serve users, map data could be filtered via location or type of tool/machinery. Tools are identified on the Map with unique icons linked to an artist’s preferred contact method; the Map also features a restricted zoom scale to protect locational privacy.

    Paper Marbling | Pietro Accardi
    Friday–Saturday, October 16–17
    10am–5pm
    $310
    Book Arts Studio, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah

    Participants learn and practice historical and modern paper marbling patterns that were developed for embellishing the end papers of books. Considerations and use of metallic paint are discussed as are ideas on how to use simple, harmonious color palettes using the color wheel. Participants also learn overmarbling, a technique where one pattern is superimposed upon another to create a magnificent and complex play of pattern. Participants leave the workshop with up to thirty sheets of marbled papers.
    --------
    Pietro Accardi began marbling more than thirty-five years ago at his father’s printing press. As a self-taught marbler, he developed his own unique perspective and understanding of marbling through much trial and error. For twelve years Pietro owned a Bookbindery in Turin, Italy and worked for Turin’s main library, the Municipal Archives and University Libraries restoring and binding documents and books. Since coming to the U.S. in 2012, he runs his paper marbling and book restoration business near Lake Tahoe with his wife and cats. He has taught regularly at the San Francisco Center for the Book since 2014.

The workshop covers simple stamp-making and embellishments. After the workshop, head outside to observe, collect, and connect with the natural world that awaits! Workshop price is per participant.
