SummerPrep

Bound To Create: Book Arts (New!)

An “art book” reproduces works of art, while an “artist’s book” is a work of art. Book Arts includes papermaking, printmaking, illustration, graphic design, collage, typography, binding, and boxmaking. To make their own artist’s books, campers start by choosing a theme—celestial bodies, fruit, letter forms, etc.—and explore it through drawing, relief printmaking, and collage to generate material for “stories.” In the second half of the workshop, the SummerPrep artists incorporate found or original text, consider sequence and layout, and learn to sew Japanese bindings. Finally, campers will assemble their words and images into one-of-a-kind artist’s books.
