Explorations: Artist Book Inspired by Map Folding Techniques
One Day Workshop - September 24, 9:30 AM - 3 PM, $121
Instructor Trisha Klus

Map folding is a practical form of paper manipulation and can be applied to the artist's book with wonderful results. Participants in this workshop will first be introduced to map folding with historical models as a reference. Next they will practice a few map folds and then will apply their newfound knowledge to making their own artist's book. Students will take home a soft cover folded book with seven different map variations, all made using maps from Trisha's personal collection.

-Ruler preferably metal 18"
-Scissors, x-acto knife
-Self-healing cutting mat or other suitable surface to avoid damaging the tables
