Simple Structures for Handmade Photobooks
Workshop with Clare Bryan

Cost: £39 LIP Member (includes some materials)

This will be a hands-on workshop in which Clare will teach how to make three different folded structures: a three hole stitch structure with a wrap-around cover and variations on the structure; stab bindings; a variation of hidden stitching and a blizzard book. She will show examples of books by artists and photographers and discuss appropriate materials to use and the importance of grain direction. Participants will make the structures and have templates to take away for developing their own photobooks.

Clare Bryan studied Graphic Design at Salisbury College of Art (1983-87) and worked in the industry for several years before returning to study Printmaking and Bookbinding at Croydon College of Art (1994-96) and then an MA in Bookarts at Camberwell College of Art (1997-98). She is a member of ‘FOLD’, a group of four artists working with a combined interest in print and book arts. She has been teaching since 1997 and currently teaches at The City Literary Institute in London. Her work is in both private and public collections, Yale Centre for British Art, Tate Library and The Government Art Collection.

This workshop is appropriate for beginners just starting out with an interest in making books by hand, and those with more experience who want to extend or refresh their skills.
