Exploration of Basic Book Structures for Artists and Educators (SCECH)

Instructor: Katie Platte
This class will explore Stick books and Japanese bindings, Folded Accordion Book structures, and Tunnel Books for creative home studio projects or to integrate into any learning environment. Books can be vehicles for dynamic interdisciplinary classroom learning experiences, whether curriculum-based research, project presentation, or creative expression! In this workshop, participants will create six different book structures, covering: an introduction to basic bookbinding terminology, materials and tools, structures, and applications; construction: covers and end pages, page layout, folding, stitching, gluing, and finishing; and tips and methods for incorporating themes and adapting to various classroom settings and student groups (for educators.)
All materials included.
A 30-minute lunch break is included in the class schedule.
This class can be taken for 4.75 SCECH credits. Discounted registration is available for educators. Get details and register at https://kalbookarts.org/workshops/exploration-of-basic-book-structures-for-artists-and-educators/
