These structures wholly support the ideas of the visual book and as such are crucial to the advancement of the book as an art object. As the sessions unfold, refinements will be added, along with additional book and box structures. Included will be invaluable information on adhesives, pigments, gilding, leather bookbinding, paper surface design, metal working and much more. This collection of information and techniques and the interplay between them is largely unavailable anywhere else. The class revolves around much individual attention to the craft and each student eventually progresses to self-initiated projects.
Newcomers are welcome in any class as space allows.
Each group is limited to six people. Standard materials for class projects are included, as well as the use of studio tools and equipment. Students should bring special papers, leather or fabric if desired and personal tools are welcome. Please note that an additional evening class has been added.
