The workshop will introduce you to collage and bookmaking practice, including composition, color, space, shape, texture, and value. We will be making two book formats – a hinged multi-panel book and a folded book. Methods include hinging, collaging, cutting, pasting, folding, and layout. We’ll also have a special viewing of the collage exhibit in the Gallery with the curators.
We urge you to bring your own paper odds and ends to transform into books. The instructor also will bring a limited amount of handmade paper remnants and print leftovers. Tools are provided but you are welcome to bring your favorites (e.g. exacto-knives, bone folders, scissors, etc.). This workshop will focus on imaginative ways to transform upcycled materials into new art. Accessible to artists and creators of all backgrounds and experience, you will be able to take what you learn and apply it at home.
