Simple Book Structures (Photobook Series 1)
Workshop with Clare Bryan

Saturday 11th July, 2015
10.00am-4.30pm

Cost: £40 including all materials
15 places

This will be a hands-on workshop in which Clare will introduce you to the book form through a series of simple but effective book structures, from folded forms through to three-hole stitched books and stab bindings. 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 several hand made books that can be taken away to be used as models for exploring and developing their own photobooks.

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.

Clare Bryan originally 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 who formed in 2002 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.
