Book and Box of Curiosities
5 Day Retreat Workshop
Materials Fee: $50.00
Student Max: 8 People
Skill Level: Can be catered for Advanced Beginner to Intermediate
Workshop Description: This 5-day intensive course explores the interpretation of our natural surroundings through artist books and boxes. Students from diverse printmaking and bookmaking backgrounds are welcome. The workshop strikes a balance between hands-on construction of book and box structures, independent work, and engaging discussions encompassing various media processes, materials, and how the natural world intertwines these ideas. Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to create unusual folded paper book structures, paper boxes, false accordion/flutter book structures, and single-section hardcovers, leading to simple multi-tray box structures. In total students will make 4-6 books and a 2 or more tier box with closure (options are given to customize your box).
