This is a 9 hour workshop.
Learn to bind a unique blank journal and than transform it into an artist book. We will build a book with high quality mica and paper with the intention of piercing, gluing, cutting, hammering the pages into a one-of-a-kind bookwork. Our journal will first be bound with a strong and flexible hybrid Coptic binding allowing us the freedom to work back into the structure without fear of damaging the project.
