2 Day Bookmaking Workshop
In this Open Studio workshop, students will explore bookmaking as a way to collect memories, textures, observations, and personal narratives.
Inspired by the work of contemporary bookmakers and artists, we will look at how books can become sculptural objects, visual journals, containers for emotion, or spaces for experimentation.
Students will create their own handmade artist book using recycled and found materials. Students will cut and shape pages, construct covers, and experiment with structure, texture, layering, and relief using cardboard, fabric, collage materials, and three-dimensional elements.
With the remaining time we will begin filling their books through sensory and process-based mark making. Using natural materials, paint, drawing tools, collage, collected textures, and optional writing prompts, participants will explore ways of documenting observations, moods, environments, and experiences within the pages of their handmade books.
No prior experience required. All materials provided.
