I Sing the Book Electric
This workshop investigates what the body of the book might be – the internal body and the external body and all the places in between. We will work with pencil and bonefolder, with writing and folding, with drawing and sewing, with cutting and page-turning, and with painting, gluing; altering, inking and placing. We will hands-on consider historical and modern book structures, visual poetry, artist’s books, collaborations between poets and artists, and visual art with text. Most of all – we will make books - chapbooks, artist’s books, one-of-a-kind books, editions, scrolls, collaborations, booklets, accordions, concertinas.....
