Pulp to Print: Conceive, Collaborate, Construct - a class at Focus on Book Arts 2022

I will be co-teaching a 3-day book arts workshop with Susan Lowdermilk at the Focus on the Book Arts Conference in Forest Grove, Oregon, Friday-Sunday, July 15-17, 2022. We still have room in the class and hope you will join us! https://focusonbookarts.org/

Susan and I just completed a 9 month collaborative book arts project titled HOPE? In this class we are going to share what we learned about collaboration and let you practice the skills needed, in a fun and exciting way, to make a book.

The class is titled Pulp to Print:  Conceive, Collaborate, Construct. Susan and I will guide the class through the collaborative process of designing and creating an editioned artists’ book. Class participants will design a small book, make handmade paper, use hand set type, carve linoleum blocks, or otherwise employ paints and drawing inks, to create the images and text for our book. Students will then bind the pages created into a “flag book” structure.  At the end of the three days each student will leave with their own copy of the editioned collaborative artists’ book we make in the class.
