Explore the timeless medium of bookmaking with the inclusion of painterly and graphic silkscreen images. Students will learn adaptable book-structures as well as silkscreen techniques. Participants are encouraged to bring a work in progress or an idea for an artist’s book they would like to develop during this workshop. Throughout the process, we investigate the sequential possibilities the book form offers. We look at the relationship between form, material, and content in printmaking media and how these relationships come together to create and inform meaning within book objects. WSW’s artist’s book collection will serve as a tool to aid our conversations. This workshop is highly experimental. The instructor is interested in working with students to explore their ideas, engaging in play and creativity while practicing bookbinding and silkscreen skills.
