Schedule: Jul 14, 21 & 28, 2021: 4:00pm - 6:30pm (ET); 
3:00pm - 5:30pm (CT); 2:00pm - 4:30pm (MT); 1:00pm - 3:30pm (PT); 

Book Art is a time-based medium that challenges our concepts of reading and seeing, in a form that invites a unique and tactile intimacy with the viewer. In this course you will learn to make interpretive formats for artists’ books by brainstorming a concept and then tailoring it to be expressed through three different, yet simple, bookbinding styles. 

Concept development and craft will be equally emphasized. 

Bookbinding techniques will be done synchronously with students and will be recorded for reference.

Suitable for artists and artisans of any level.
