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.
