Intro to Bookmaking

Date: April 20, 2010, 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Program: Spring 2010 Creative Infusion Workshop Series

Description

Lots of kids know how to make their own blogs, but do they know how to make their own books?  Turn your students into tangible self-publishers, and wow them with the basic book-making techniques you’ll learn in Intro to Bookmaking.  This session will cover accordion and envelope books (a signature MFTA project) for you to take back to the classroom.  Attention will be paid to the relationship of Form to Function, as well invention of novel forms based on the unique materials found at MFTA.  Though simple, these books certainly aren’t simplistic!  This workshop is part of the Creative Infusion Workshop Series.
