Students will complete examples of each technique in sizes from 4×6, 5×5 to 3×4 inches, along with a phase box to house the collection. Focusing on larger-scale, personal projects will continue throughout the month with critique and discussion to end each afternoon.
This class will focus on form and content in personal artist’s books.
The range of techniques we’ll cover will improve and expand the art practices of any artist regardless of media.
