This workshop will present book structures ideal for artists making imagery one side of sheets of paper, such as photographers, printmakers, and collage artists. The class will cover the Drum Leaf Binding, Storage Book, and Multiple-Leaf Accordion structures. These binding methods allow for easy arrangement of imagery, from one image to the next throughout the book and are constructed with adhesive, creating uninterrupted images across the pages. These structures are also perfect for making journals and sketchbooks. Students are encouraged to have samples of their favorite papers on hand to discuss and sample prints to bind in the workshop.
