Learn a set of at-home techniques and structures for creating engaging artist’s books with little surprises such as storage compartments, peek-through cut-outs, and custom patterned paper. First, learn how to print patterned papers using simple, inexpensive supplies at home.

This is a great process for all levels of artists to quickly express themselves through pattern and print! Next, explore masu boxes, a folded box structure that can be used to create a variety of book objects with storage compartments. Last, learn to make a suite of single-page folded book structures and experiment with ways to incorporate cut-outs to take advantage of both sides of the paper. All of these techniques can be combined with other art and bookmaking processes you may already know to enhance your practice.
