Creating artist books and limited editions - all levels

Course Overview:
This course explores techniques, structures and materials to create your own Artist Books, unique volume or short run Artist Edition. Possibilities include reclaimed and altered books, renewals, reprints and sculptures in book form.
Learn to adapt traditional and innovative bookbinding techniques, structures and projects of intermediate complexity. Projects establish progressive skills upon which you can build and reliably adapt.
Learn to arrange text and image for accessible self publishing from your own computer and home printing environment.

This course will show you how to develop and prepare your work for entry in some of the UK’s top Artist Book fairs with your own bespoke limited Artist Editions and unique volumes of sound construction and lasting beauty.

Develop your own personal project with tutored guidance. Projects draw upon western and eastern historical bindings as well as intermediate book concepts such as text and image, layering, fold-outs, non-adhesive bindings and the book as sculptural object.

This is a leisure course with no formal assessment. Pariticipants are encouraged to pursue outside development, interests and further practice independently.
