We loved welcoming local artist, bookmaker, and professor Doug Pierre Baulos to our Intro to Bookmaking class! 📚✨

Students explored an architectural book structure called a Gate Binding while working with handmade paper crafted from cotton and abaca fibers—created and beautifully marbled in Doug’s studio.

Doug also shared insights into their artistic journey, highlighting the intersection of science and art through biology, photogenic processes, and experimental book forms.

An accomplished artist and educator, Doug Pierre Baulos is an Associate Professor of Drawing at UAB and co-director of BLOOM Studios and Dye Garden. Their work—spanning drawing, collage, and book arts—has been exhibited nationally and internationally, often exploring themes of identity, love, death, shelter, and hope.
