During the Middle Ages, books were rare and cherished art forms, individually hand-crafted and decorated both on the pages and on the covers. Monks transcribed religious documents and classical literature with beautiful calligraphy, bound the pages together, and illuminated the covers with leather, silver, gold, ivory, enamels, and jewels.The purpose of this creative project was to research the history of bookbinding and its metal ornamentation, focusing on Medieval treasure bindings, and to explore and execute the historical bookbinding and metalworking techniques which were studied. Four books were constructed using the flexible bookbinding method, covered with leather, and decorated with enamels, stones, etched brass, silver filigree, and constructed closures. / Department of Art

In a General Metal Shop, Art Metalwork is one of the activities used to round out a general study of the metals field. That it is a valid subject to be taught in this field of activity is shown by the fact that Art Metalwork is included as a center of activity in a number of state studies in the Industrial Arts curriculum. The Pennsylvania state study of Industrial Arts lists Art Metalwork as a center of activity in the Metals area. The Connecticut state study in Industrial Arts lists Art Metal under General Metalwork. The New York state course for Industrial Arts also includes Art Metalwork as a center of activity in General Metalwork.
