Two workshops with Peter Sramek are planned for 2026 that will cover experimental folded and sewn artist’s books, including a potential for drawing and collage to create contents for binding. Topics such as boxmaking, alternative sculptural structures are also possible depending on interest, so please get in touch to let us know: workshops@scff.ca. What about: From concept to embodiment – the digitally designed, printed and hand bound artist book?
Dates for 2026: July 11-12 and 25-26. More information will be forthcoming. If you are interested in attending a workshop, please contact us. Registration information will be posted here in coming weeks.
Workshop #1: Album explorations
This workshop will consider a variety of structures appropriate for inserting contents, be it photos, prints, drawings, collages, envelopes that hold items or more. For anyone wishing to bring together collected materials in an album format, this workshop will provide inspiration and binding techniques.
Workshop #2: Options for folded artist’s books will be presented and the group may decide to focus on particular techniques. Participants are encouraged to bring visual materials to work with or collect them onsite. Sewing and gluing will be simple and appropriate for those without binding experience, while more complex approaches can be selected by those looking to develop more advanced skills.
