Book Structures for Prints and Photographs

This two-day class will present students with three different bindings that are ideal for artists working with printmaking, photography, and collage: The Drum Leaf; Hedi Kyle’s Storage Book; and the Japanese Accordion Album ("Nori-ire gajo," pictured). Unlike a traditional sewn codex, these structures use only adhesive in their construction, allowing for a full view of the image with minimal preparation before binding. Students will learn about proper materials and applications for each structure, as well as additional modifications that can be made to enhance content.

Prerequisite: Bookbinding 101 or equivalent experience. 

An additional materials fee of $25 is due at the first class. Please bring cash or check to class. All other tools and supplies are provided for the class.
