Presented by the Book Arts Program, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah
The Naked Book | Chris McAfee August 3 & 5 Tuesday & Thursday, 4–6:30 pm, MDT $100, materials kit & shipping included (an additional $25 will be billed for international shipping) register Online instruction via Zoom. Participants receive link and materials kit prior to the workshop. In order to ensure time for shipping of materials kits, participants should register a minimum of two weeks prior to the series/session. Turn a hardbound book into an artist’s canvas! Make a cover for a pre-sewn text block and finish it – not with cloth, paper, or leather – but with acrylic modeling paste. Then texture, scribe, and wax the covers to create a personal design. While spinning traditional techniques into innovative processes, investigate how bookbinding materials react to moisture and how to counteract related problems.
