    Course Description

    This intensive, hands-on course is partly an initiation into the vast field of book arts and partly an exploration of the rich interfaces between image and text. Students learn production (like forming a book with a few basic folds and multiple bound leaves) and different techniques like linocut printing, to extend their image-making abilities. The course helps students extend their creative voices through various content generation activities. Finally, the course enables them to identify relationships between content and form (placement and sequencing) for coherence and flow, along with the fundamentals of design, with the final outcome being hand-bound books with original content.
