Artist’s books are a unique medium for making one-of-a-kind works of art. The possibilities are endless from using a traditional blank book, to painting and collaging pages of a vintage book to folding papers to create unique sculptural works. Join award-winning artist Lucy Fradkin in an exploration of the medium. Students will use a variety of drawing, painting and collage techniques and materials to create personal works that tell stories. The workshop will begin with a brief history of the medium and an overview of the possibilities. Demonstrations will include basic stitching and folding methods and archival collage techniques. Although group discussions and critiques will be integral to this workshop, individual work and one-on-one instruction will be the focus.
