About
The pamphlet can be sewn and folded into an elegant binding that stands alone as an artist book or be produced as an edition. Each participant will print a series using found objects, stamps, stencils, and colored inks. Participants will proceed to more complex sewn books with single and three-section text blocks using the gel prints as covers and end pages. Participants will leave with 6-7 folded and sewn pamphlet structures. No prior experience required!
