Learn book making techniques that are suitable for summer field research, sketching, or writing. Working from Common Press kits or from a materials list we supply, you'll learn to put together a book that can be used to document your summer, or for art book projects (photo books, artist books, poetry publications, comics, and more). We'll talk about prompts that can be built into the books, as well as including pockets and a place to keep your pen. And we'll look at some unusual examples of the book as an art form and as a creative way to share research.

Materials kits will be shipped out 2 weeks in advance; sign up in advance for best chance of reserving and receiving one.
