Learn a variety of binding options for artists’ books that can be produced by hand at Bookbinding for Artists’ Books on Mondays, March 31 through April 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. in The Studio.
Artists’ books are works of art that utilize the form of the book. The first class will include a survey of books and binding styles, as well as an introduction to terms of book anatomy and commercial binding.
In this five-week course, retired graphic design professor Peter Bushell will also introduce a number of particular book styles and binding techniques, followed by time for hands-on production. These one-of-a-kind books will be blank models, but additional discussion is possible for those who have ideas for further development of books with content.
$110/person. Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/bookbinding/ by March 17. All sales are final.
