The Box That Looks Like a Book
Paulette Rosen
Doesn’t everyone love boxes? Come learn to make the clamshell box, a perfect container for storing prints, drawings, old books or new ones. It opens like a book and looks like one if set on a shelf. Students will learn to cut the pieces and construct a two tray, cloth-covered box accented with decorative paper. Many basic bookbinding techniques will be taught, including measuring, cutting, and gluing. No experience necessary. Intermediate students may work on independent box projects. Included with this class is a 3-hour practice session during practice hours.
Supplies: None necessary, but if the student wants to make the box to fit a particular book, or papers, they must bring it to the first class.
Prerequisite: None
Mondays, 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM, 1/7/2019 – 2/18/2019

New! The Painted Accordion
Judy Atlas and Paulette Rosen
This workshop combines watercolor painting with accordion bookbinding. The first day will be devoted to creating a group of small watercolor paintings that work together as a series or tell a story. These paintings will explore one particular idea, theme, or concept. Bring your watercolor kit to class and an idea of your desired subject along with reference materials (e.g., photos, objects) for inspiration. We will be painting on 300-lb. watercolor paper.
The second day students will learn to make an accordion book that can stand up for display. Using as many of your watercolor paintings as you like for the pages, we will hinge them together with sturdy, color- coordinated paper, and attach hard covers. The result will be a beautiful, unique artist’s book.
Join us for an exciting workshop in both watercolor and bookbinding.
Supplies: Bring your watercolor kit to class and an idea of your desired subject along with reference materials (e.g., photos, objects) for inspiration. All bookbinding materials and tools provided.
