Create a unique artist's book while honing/learning bookmaking and printmaking techniques. This workshop will guide you through a three-part creative process to generate text and images. You will make Gelli plate magazine transfers and then collage in response to your prints. Your completed project will combine your edited and refined creations in a hardcover book (approximately 3.5 x 5”) with 8 spreads (30 sides) handbound with a long stitch variation. All supplies are provided. No experience needed - great for those trying to break out of a creative block, or searching for creative ways to generate image and text.
