Book arts with single sheets of paper!

Description

This workshop will involve making several one sheet wonders! We will use several different templates to explore making mini unfolding photo books, and also how to make a wraparound cover. These are lovely structures to explore narrative, ideas for a small collection of images and so forth. We'll also make unique giveaways, catalogues or business ‘cards’ to accompany an exhibition, networking event, or visual statement about your work. Recommended prior knowledge This workshop is suitable for all who have an interest in making physical book forms to house images - no previous experience required! Course Outline This will be an active hands-on making workshop. You will be able to make and complete your book within the session. Outcomes You will leave with demonstrations of several finished pieces of work, which you will also make in the workshop. During the demonstration, you'll be introduced with some basic book arts skills including, paper grain, accuracy in measuring and cutting, piercing and stitching to create a binding.

I have taught photography and book arts for many years in higher education and community settings in the U.K and Ireland. It’s an absolute delight to share my skills and knowledge with like minded people who are keen to learn new skills and creative approaches. My qualifications include postgraduate degrees in Fine Art Photography, Social Sciences, as well as professional development in Mindful Photography, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Photography, and PG Cert teaching qualification. As well as a solid grounding in analogue and digital photography, and bookbinding, I have embraced a more therapeutic approach to these visual skills and offer a very holistic approach to workshops and creative approaches.
