When are the Lessons
This class combines short daily lessons with weekly live Zoom sessions, giving you both momentum and context.
During the month of March, Monday - Saturday, you can expect a short pre-recorded video lesson to be released at 9am EST each day. On Sundays, there is a one-hour live Zoom (which is recorded) at 12pm EST.
What will you learn?
The month will be focused on a mixture of folded and simply stitched books.
The first three weeks of class are focused on book structures and the last week-and-a-half are focused on adding meaning to your books.
Who is this Class For?
This class is ideal for artists, makers, and creatives who are interested in artist books as a contemporary art practice and want a structured daily practice, reusable skills, and a deeper understanding of how books can function as artworks.
