Papermaking and Book Arts

Catalog description

This course focuses on Eastern and Western approaches to handmade paper and book making. The student will work with fibers such as abaca, cotton and recycled paper, to make both flat and dimensional paper. We will explore traditional and non-traditional book binding methods, paper marbling techniques and image transfer processes. We will approach both the material (paper), and format (book) as visual objects, as well as vehicles for idea and image. May be repeated once for credit.
