Two workshops are planned that will cover boxmaking and experimental folded artist’s books, including a potential for collage and alternative printing techniques to create contents for binding.
Boxmaking – July 5-6
Over the weekend we will address the construction of box formats leading to a hinged, clamshell-style box. Covering technique will be explained and practiced.
Experimental Artist’s Books – July 25-27
Various options for making 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. A photocopier may be used to create pages or acetates for blueprinting. 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.
If you are interested in attending a workshop, please register online or contact us at workshops@scff.ca.Participants may arrive on Friday to stay the weekend at SCFF or arrive for each day’s session. Accommodation arrangements include all meals.
A deposit of $60. will hold your place with the balance due two weeks prior to the workshop.
