“For me, the books themselves are journals — visual records of my life and work. I am interested in traces of the past — ancient binding styles, altered books, distressed finishes, and found objects. I’ve developed my style of bookmaking by learning from mentors and absorbing the influence of treasured objects from other cultures and other times.”
Daniel Essig works out of studios located at Grovewood Gallery and Cyclone Enterprises in Asheville, NC. Daniel regularly teaches at Penland School of Crafts, Arrowmont Craft School, and John C. Campbell Folk School. His work has appeared in exhibits around the country , has been featured in books by Keith Smith and Suzanne J. E. Tourtillott, and can been seen in American Craft, American Style, Craft Reports and FIBERARTS magazines.
