Learn how to make a book that’s not blank! This workshop will show you how to turn any electronic document into something that can be bound into a book. You’ll learn how to format and print a short story (16 – 20 pages) using freely available web-based software. Students can use a text that is supplied by the instructor or provide your own. The pages will be sequenced for a sewn binding - a process known as imposition. The printing will be taken care of for you at the end of the first day. The following day, students will bind the results into a one signature hardcover pamphlet. A discussion regarding adapting the process to a larger book using other texts will be part of the workshop. Students will need a laptop or tablet with internet access, but all other supplies will be included. No previous bookbinding experience is required. The tuition for this class includes a fee of $3 for basic materials provided by CAW. This class/workshop will take place in a studio
