About the Workshop:
This virtual workshop at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor María Verónica San Martín is designed for all experience levels and covers how to conceptualize and create your own artist book.
The course begins with a contextual lesson on the book as an artistic medium – helping provide students with inspiration for their own work. Then the class transitions to art-making – including learning the do’s and don’t of accordion book structure, the technique of monoprints on plexiglass, and the creation and construction of a flag book.
By the end of the course, each student will have created their own artist book and the class will engage in a final critique and discussion of all the work produced!
