Carol Schwartzott: "'A Brief History of the Quilt' was first issued in 1996. The National Museum of Women held a yearly competition for women book artists. The chosen book was given a grant to create/print/bind in an edition of 125 copies - 100 to the Museum and 25 held back to the artist. My Quilt book was imagined to be a co-operative adventure, with actual quilt pages made by selected hand-quilters from America. Each of these 'quilt' would be editions in groups of 25 (these were small examples) with enough actual hand quilted examples distributed within the 125 copies. Each of the elected 25 women would each get one book in return for her contribution. These 25 were those designated to the artist. The book was a close win. The committee was not sure I could pull this off. A year or so later I produced the little boxed version of this Brief History, using paper examples rather than fabric. "The past two years have been a time of examining some of my projects - some finalized, and others just ideas. I thought it would be fun to re-invent the quilt book in a miniature form. I have been active in the MBS [Miniature Book Society] for the past two years, re-visiting my book roots. "In this period, I have completed an edition of 20 minis of 'A Brief History of Knitting'. Eight of these reside within a wooden cabinet of sorts. The cabinet displays a quilt fragment, and some sewing tools.

Signed and numbered by the artist. Carol Schwartzott: "'A Brief History of Gloves' is a project that I began about 15 years ago….I have always been fascinated by hands. This book began with my collection of family gloves, handed down to me along with other accessories….a pair of beautiful opera length kid gloves and a pair of lace and net, both worn by my mother as a young woman. It started a journey for me, purchasing several books on history and technique. I began taking notes, checking out museum collections, and searching out all the different types of gloves and their use. … Read More

Freeville, New York:: Lilliput Press,, 2019.. Edition of 12. 4" x 4" x 1/2" with digitally printed and hand-colored Japanese prints. Japanese Chiyogami papers. Boxed in a fold-out paper case with plexi rod closure. Signed and numbered by the artist. Carol Schwartzott: "'Kimono' uses images from the golden years of Japanese prints….Lovely geisha and other images that provide the viewer with a very brief history of the Kimono. The book has sewn segments that pull-out in an accordion to provide access to each folded and stitched segment. Each segment provides a thought statement about the kimono and uses a different chiyogami pattern. The box itself resembles a triangular wing-like design that fold origami-like to cover and protect the little book. A plexiglass rod slides across the cover to hold the flaps together." "A Brief History of the Kimono" is a return to Schwartzott's interest in this form of Japanese clothing. The use of paper and… Read More
