I set aside the many techniques available to the artist book maker for a while to practice, practice, practice pounding out metal books. I still love a good hammering, and always will.
All the same, for the workshops in Italy, I'm returning to my artist book roots, which means paper: folding, line-cutting, stitching and, yes, even adhesives. Old school and beautiful. The incredible Italian art paper to be found in Siena is just too wonderful.
One of my favorite formats is pictured here. It's a combo of the basic accordion book, and one of its many variations, the tunnel book. It carries a story-line so visually well, and contains the 3-D component I can't stop exploring even when I try! We will each make one of these on Day 3 of Living the Dream.
Five weeks and counting until then, March 12-14. I still have 2 spaces left. Contact me for details.
TTFN,
Renee
