BOOK ARTS
Basic Hand Bookbinding BA01FA10
This course will introduce basic book structures and techniques. Students will begin by making simple softcover books in both western and eastern traditions. They will then progress to making hardcover versions of the western pamphlet and the Japanese stab binding. If time permits, we will include books of multiple sections. All of the structures can be made without special equipment. Intermediate binders may work on more complex projects. Instruction is adjusted to the binding skill of the individual. Enrollment in this class includes one 3 hour monitored practice session a week.

Book as Art: An Introduction to Artists’ Books BA02FA10
This is an introductory class for practicing visual artists and students who are new to the book arts and who want to begin to explore the book as an art form. This basic orientation will include class discussion and lectures, field visits to a library collection of contemporary artists’ books, critiques of contemporary artists’ books in these collections, as well as some very basic hands-on practice. Through these activities, we will inform our understanding of the expressive and technical possibilities inherent to the book form. The hands-on portion of the class will introduce simple, adaptable, folded and sewn books that can be made without special tools or equipment. This class does not duplicate what is offered in Basic Hand Bookbinding. Note: Classes will begin promptly at 1:00. A materials list will be provided.
