Make a stack of books this summer! In Intro to Book Arts: Artists' Books and their Structures, students will make a variety of book structures and engage with artists’ books held in Special Collections. The structures that we will learn can be applied to visual arts, sculpture, creative writing, design and performance. This course counts for credit in the Literary Publishing Track for English majors and satisfies the Be Creative requirement for engineering students. .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #uicb #calligraphy #summercourse #letteringarts #bookarts #universityofiowa #papermaking #papermill #handmadepaper #mouldanddeckle #craftmanship #artistsbooks #bookconservation #specialcollections #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #typography #graphicdesign #bookdesign #letterpress #letterpressprinting #printmaking #naturaldyes (at Iowa City, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5Eh5DgEXI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ury52a7lyxj
