Bookbinding: Hand-Stitching with Bari Ziki
Bari Zaki is a lifelong lover of paper. In her childhood bedroom she had a small walk-in closet with bookshelves holding books and her ever-expanding “library” of paper samples, swatches, and scraps that her father brought home from his print shop. In her early 20s, she took a series of bookbinding and box making classes at Artists Bookworks in Chicago. Bari went on to open a small, appointment-only studio and her business focused mainly on custom projects.
After 25-ish years, Bari’s desire to share her love of craft and materials met its magical moment: a spacious, light-filled shop/studio/salon became available in a wonderful block of shops. Finally, Bari was able to offer workshops in a beautiful space conducive to creative camaraderie! She was also able to merchandise a revolving array of colored pencils & other drawing supplies, washi tape, notebooks, sketchbooks, notecards…and a growing inventory of her handmade books and boxes.
String Art with Tiffany Lusteg
Tiffany Lusteg is an artist with focused areas of practice in large scale art installations, murals, spatial design, and sculpture.
Exploring a variety of mediums over the last decade from digital artwork to three-dimensional space, Tiffany specializes in color theory and exploration, creating immersive and experiential artwork for events, hotels, corporate clients, and private clients’ homes. Her work can be described as vivid, meaningful, and expressive, with an objective to brighten the world of those around her.
Tiffany lives in San Diego, California and is the creative direction behind fomme, a spatial design and fabrication business she co-founded with her partner and woodworker, Aaron Lusteg. When she’s not creating in her studio, she enjoys a slower paced lifestyle for her family and home with an appreciation for the handmade and an emphasis on process, either tending to her vegetable garden, making bread, writing and reading poetry, or capturing life through the lens of film photography.
