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 what your interests are.: workshops@scff.ca. We could even do an extended series on handbinding digitally designed and printed books.
Dates for summer 2026 are July 11-12 and August 14-16. If you are interested in attending a workshop, please contact us and Register Early to help with planning.
Book workshops will take place at our Heron Point home location near Desert Lake, Hartington.
Workshop #1: Album explorations – July 11-12
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: Experimental Artist Books – August 14-16
Options for artist’s books will be presented and the group will focus on techniques pertinent to project ideas. Participants are encouraged to bring visual materials to work with or collect them onsite. Sewing and gluing can be simple and appropriate for those looking for binding experience, while more complex approaches can be selected by those looking to develop more advanced skills.
