This workshop will explore the exciting world of the artists' books. Participants will be given instruction in basic book arts techniques while making two small format books. The first book will be an accordion book
with a unique "nested pop up accordion fold" structure that was developed by Peter and Donna Thomas. This binding has a second accordion that weaves in and out of the first. The second will be a scrolling case bound book. This structure, also created by Peter and Donna Thomas, features a wooden framework holding a scroll housed in a paper covered case binding. Advanced students may have time to put text in their books and will want to come prepared with a short 4-10 word quote to work with. All materials will be provided, but students may want to bring their own papers to substitute for those provided. This will be fun and informative workshop and students will go home with two completed books.
