About this course
- Select and use appropriate materials
- Understand the importance of grain direction
- Make a range of experimental book structures
- Combine collage and cut layers within the book form.
The bindery is equipped with most tools but you will be expected to provide your own personal handtools. Nothing need be bought before starting the course. A list of equipment and suppliers will be provided at the first lesson. The class has some materials which may be bought. It is expected that you will increasingly provide your own as your experience and individual requirements and preferences develop. Information and advice on materials and larger pieces of equipment will always be available. You should expect to spend up to £25 to provide yourself with the basic handtools and materials.
Reviews
Course programme
We will make folded layered books, zig-zag, star and tunnel books and experiment with collage and paper cut-throughs.
Through demonstration, practice and discussion you will be taught as a group and individually as required. Handouts will accompany demonstrations. You will be encouraged to investigate the current and historical literature on the subject, and will be informed of publications and events which maybe of interest. The course is structured to manage the work within the class but preparation work on individual ideas may need to be carried out outside course time.Additional information
