Book Arts for Creative Writers with Kate Lebo and Jennifer Borges Foster
What's a handmade book without writing? Blank, that's what. While making blank journals is an art form unto itself, in this class we're more interested in what happens when we put pen to paper. Taking cues from the books we make in class, we'll write, erase, and explore the relationship between writing and the book. Suitable for for writers of all experience levels who want to learn book arts and book artists who want to incorporate words into their art.
