Workshop Description:
We’ll explore at least 10 deceptively simple book arts projects, many of which begin with one sheet of paper transformed into multi-faceted structures, that can become the basis for artist’s books or engaging classroom content. We’ll approach each project with an eye on how to lead others through the steps, helping participants fine tune their teaching approach. Students will leave class with a portfolio of structural models and the reference materials and skills to repeat the projects in the studio or classroom. While no experience is required, students should be comfortable working at a moderate pace.
