From Flat Sheet to Folio with Stephanie Wolff (Online)

Schedule: Mar 25, 2021 -- 6pm - 8pm (ET);
5pm - 7pm (CT); 4pm - 6pm (MT); 3pm - 5pm (PT);

Referencing historic book layout, we will make a flat sheet of paper into a folio that can stand alone as a card or be bound with more folios to create a book. This method allows for imaging only one side of the paper and the ability to have an image to cross the center fold without interruption. This is a very basic but useful technique for printmakers or anyone who makes flat work on paper and wants to explore a simple but effective way to image pages for a book. Using dry media art supplies, participants will make an image, place some text if desired, fold their folio and bind it into a simple cover using the pamphlet stitch. This workshop is less about structure and more about how to think of content placement.
