We will explore different ways of making books, including single section pamphlets, concertina books and slit books. We will use printmaking to create visual journeys through the books and experiment with book structure, visual narrative and the visual language of print. This course is suitable for complete beginners and continuing students as all projects are stand alone and are intended to develop creative bookbinding ideas and skillsets.
