About this course

In this new course students have the opportunity to explore Book Arts in various forms including basic western and eastern binding methods as well as more advanced book concepts such as text and image, layering, simultaneous pages, fold-outs, non-adhesive bindings and the book as sculptural object. Book Arts represent a unique crossroads in contemporary visual arts. Conventionally, the value of a book is considered to reside in the content with the author of the text separated from the binder of the pages. Yet the tactile presence of the book object invariably elicits a physical response from the reader on a purely aesthetic level. At every point there is a layering of tradition and innovation, convention and reinvention. Students will learn a variety of binding techniques specific to their area of interest. Specific techniques include Japanese binding, simple case binding and album bindings. Accordingly, alongside the technical aspects of binding, students will learn safe and reliable measuring, cutting, aligning, folding, gluing and pressing techniques in order to produce an Artist's Book of sound construction which embodies the artist's intention. Course tutor Meg Green has many years of teaching experience and holds Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Print Media and Book Arts.

Public Speaking
by Mikel - 30-SEP-10

Great class. Lots of who hints and advice. Small number of students which allows for more involvement with the teacher. Would recommend to anyone who wants some confidence when speaking in public....more
