Jennifer Mead & Sherra Gallaher of the Inland Northwest Book Arts Society

This week’s guests are Jennifer Mead and Sherra Gallaher, members of the ⁠Inland Northwest Book Arts Society⁠ and book artists themselves.

They talk about what the INWBAS gets up to each month, the role that creative reuse plays in their work, and how book arts allows them to play with qualities like narrative.

We touch on bone folders, Graham Greene and the origami-like engineering that makes some spaces bigger on the inside. During the Lightning Round, we figure out who’s a procrastinator and who secretly wants to be a park bench or a lightbulb.

The INWBAS has its next monthly meeting on July 25, 2026. The workshop will focus on a technique known as Japanese stab binding and will be held at the Liberty Park Library.
