Phillips created Plantscapes of the Prairies to challenge people to look closer at their environment, to see it in new ways, to challenge himself to learn about the different species found in our South Western Saskatchewan landscape, and to illustrate a new world of plant life underfoot. 

Many people rarely envision the species we walk on as having any artistic merit, interest, or importance. There are myriads of colour, form, and interconnection there for the observant in the Grasslands National Park, Cypress Hills Centre Block, Cypress Hills West Block, and the Frenchman River Valley that inspired Phillips’ work. The parks seemed very important in keeping rare species of plants and preserving the natural grasslands and forest ecosystems. Without these parks there would not be any natural land to explore as an artist, but the real cost is on the ecosystems and animals they sustain.

Participants will create their very own one-of-a-kind journal or sketchbook using the buttonhole stitch method, which is a variation on a long stitch binding. It's a beautiful book structure that is great for beginners and more advanced bookbinding students and offers many options for customization and creativity. The book structure opens completely flat, making it perfect for sketching, writing, or journaling. It uses no glue and features an exposed spine and threads that run along the outside of the cover.  Journals will include up-cycled linen bookcloth covers, decorative paper interiors, linen thread, and acid-free high quality writing/drawing paper.

Robin Canham has been making books for 15 years. She has taken an extensive amount of bookbinding courses organized by the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild (CBBAG) and was the CBBAG Sask Chapter Liaison for 12 years before currently working on the CBBAG National Board.
