Postermen Pens are great for drawing positives, unlike most felt-tip like pens which don't block the light sufficiently. We heart Posterman (and Posca) Pens!

Have you longed to learn more about making books? Learn with Sarah Bryant of the infamous Big Jump Press.  http://bigjumppress.wordpress.com/author/bigjumppress/

In this course we will be learning technical skills of bookbinding as well as applying these new skills to book projects. We will begin by focusing on structures that work well for artists, including simple innovative structures, a hard cover book structure, and concertina/accordion books.

We will discuss how to use the unique possibilities that books present, sequence and pacing, the use translucency and layering, and the possibilities inherent in different materials.

We'll talk about the tools and materials necessary for book work as well as tactics for producing editions (identical multiples.)

Students are encouraged to bring ideas for projects that we will begin workshopping mid-way through the course.

This course includes a small materials fee of £12.

 Book in at the studio to do this course, it starts the 12 Feb.
