Making an Artist’s Book with Rosemary Cooley (2 days)

Washington Printmakers Gallery

Discover the fascinating world of artist's book making

September 23 and 24, 2023 from 10 am to 2:30 pmThe artist book holds an important place in the varied and exciting realm of printmaking. This unique art form melds creative creations along with calculations of the cover, endpapers, content (with or without words) and colophon, which offers details relevant to the making of the book. In this workshop, students will create a hardbound concertina book filled with their original artwork and words (if desired). They should bring prints they have made (monoprints and woodblock prints), along with interesting papers to complement prints we’ll make in class with a gel plate. Instructions on how to incorporate simple text will be given. Students should bring a bone folder, kneaded eraser, a 12 inch metal ruler and #2 pencil.A $35.00 materials fee will be collected on the first day of class. This includes book boards, archival papers for pages, Mulberry paper for monoprint images, decorative papers and the use of studio tools, inks and glues.Please bring to class: any monoprints, woodcuts or etchings you have made, to add to those we will make in class. Also helpful are a Bone Folder, kneaded eraser and #2 pencil.Adults - - Maximum 4 participantsTo register
