A finely crafted book requires the artist to select the proper images and text, sequence them, lay it all out graphically, and then have it printed and assembled. When done correctly, a book can be a work of art in and of itself. The Workshops offer classes that focus on specific aspects of the bookmaking process, such as editing and sequencing, as well as workshops that focus on creating the physical object. Bookmaking is a wonderful way to expand one’s creative palate.
