Bookbinding requires simple tools, is easily portable, and does not require a shop or studio, making it ideal for any artist working from home or in a personal studio space. This six-week course will explore how to make beautiful and durable bound artist books through a variety of techniques. No matter what your skill level, this live Zoom course will introduce students to basic and intermediate book structures which include pamphlet, expandable album, and single-, double-, and triple-section sewn books as well as codex structures. Discussion of the elements of artist books and detailed weekly instruction will enable participants to make their own artist books outside of class time and beyond the course.
