Book Arts Jerry Bedor Phillips August 15-21, 2021 COURSE DESCRIPTION In this workshop, the objective for students is to learn basic bookbinding techniques and experiment with some easy methods of creating artist books. Open spine binding methods such as the Coptic stitch, strap binding, and Japanese stab binding will be covered. These techniques will translate into creating some artist books structures including but not limited to the accordion fold books, flag books, etc. Students are encouraged to be creative with the contents of their artist books to reflect their interests. Artists books can cover the spectrum of illustrative drawings, collage and watercolor paintings. Students are encouraged to bring any printed paper ephemera with them (old magazines, printed book pages, or old sketches/drawings). Students will also have the opportunity to create content with drawing, watercolor, other paper based media. Examples and reference books will be available to study during the workshop. No prior experience necessary as the course is designed to be suitable for anyone with a casual book binding/artist book interest.
