This course explores the possibilities of making books from scratch. Students will first make paper from rags and linters, then print, draw and otherwise make their mark on the newly formed sheets. Finally, these pages will be bound into a book format. Books can be more than just paper between boards. Contemporary and traditional books will be examined as the class explores the nature of the book. Students will be challenged to stretch the book's form and structure as they learn how the traditional forms of the book have evolved and how artists today are redefining this age old structure.
Notes: This class will be scheduled in D1, over the Fall and Winter semesters. Please take special note that this course has material fees associated with it.
