Class Description:
Throughout history each culture has made books with available materials. Humans have used clay, bark, leather, and papyrus to preserve their laws, their stories, their music and their poetry. In contemporary culture, book art has become a popular way to create original hand-made books for individual expression. This new method of art making is inspired by the form and function of books. In this workshop participants will learn to make three different book structures using their own creative designs: a simple book from one piece of paper, an accordion book, and a hand-sewn book with multiple pages and a hand-painted cover.All materials will be provided.
