Two-day Bookmaking Workshop with Liz Jeneid

In the Two-Day Bookmaking Workshop, Liz Jeneid will discuss what an artist book is and will bring different examples to show the diverse nature of the genre. You will explore how the content determines the structure of the book. You will make a simple stitched book and then move on to explore folded structures. More experienced participants will experiment with adding, cutting into or subtracting pages.

Participants are encouraged to come with a desire to experiment, for the book to evolve and become one to be treasured.
