Bookbinding: Simple to Complex

In this workshop, students will learn a variety of quick bookbinding structures and techniques that they can combine to create innovative forms for their own artist books. We will cover a variety of sewn and folded structures with daily demonstrations and hands-on instruction. This workshop will start with basic accordions and pamphlets and progress to more complex versions of these structures that can be used to bring a sculptural aspect to your books. Students are welcome to bring prints, posters, or paper ephemera to use as book content. They will leave with a variety of structures in their wheelhouse as well as mock-ups for combining them into unique forms. All levels.
