What the world needs now is random acts of beauty and kindness. Artist’s Books are a multidisciplinary way to document the diversity of our perspectives and experiences and transmute them into something powerful and sharable. In this workshop, you will learn about a selection of introductory book art forms. Additionally, we will explore some interesting ways paper can be folded that transform a square into a variety of intricate and interesting shapes and functions. After some short demos, we will work on some simple mock-up versions together.
There will be some basic book forms to work with and some more advanced folds for those with more experience (or anyone who loves a good brain challenge). Each participant will leave with their book mock-ups and a set of printed instructions for any of the forms that we worked on to take home.
