The Art of Bookmaking: Instant Books + Pockets
Come make a book!
This monthly series hosted by @ariwolfff will invite participants to choose their own adventure by experimenting with a range of mixed media supplies and book forms. Each session will introduce a new book form or technique. We'll be there to lend a hand throughout the workshop and offer prompts to get your juices flowing.
Join us for a single workshop in the series or attend all four to develop a specific book project. September's session will focus on getting the hang of the 'instant book', which can be folded from a single piece of paper, and learning to make a diagonal pocket fold. We will move at our own pace, folding a series of different sized books and adding pockets, to create a series of nesting-doll-like books which can all be contained in one large pocket.
Various printmaking, mark-making, and collage materials will be available for us to adorn our books. Individuals can choose to focus on structure, content, or both and are welcome to take paper to complete the project at home.
