Beginning Bookbinding

66-2642

The need to record & contain stories is nearly as old as humankind. This class will introduce undergraduate students to the bookbinding techniques, materials, processes, for creating different structures to contain a variety of forms, progressing from simple to complex. Students will learn the narrative possibilities of the codex form, and investigate the expressive potential for non-traditional forms of the book. There will be a discussion of historic structures and the history of the book and how these forms fit into the movement of artist's books in the art world today.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
