Andrew Huot G44: Bookworks – Introduction to the Book Arts
$90 G44 members / $110 non-members
Join Andrew Huot for an Introduction to the Book Arts. Participants will learn about the tools and materials you’ll need and make books to present text and images. In one night, you’ll touch on different styles of book construction, the tools and materials needed, and the techniques. Once the workshop is completed, you’ll have a stable base to make books to share your photographs as well as a set of books to use for future work.
