BOOKS AND BOXES – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list
A well-made bespoke box not only protects and extends the life of books, prints and artworks, it can also be part of an artwork’s concept. First, we will create books using a variety of binding styles. Next, we will learn accurate and versatile construction techniques for making enclosures – lidded boxes, slipcases, clamshell boxes and the like – and how to customise them for our books. *Experienced
*Experienced – this course assumes you have some experience in book binding and construction techniques.
The tutor won’t have time to focus on teaching basic skills as this course is designed to build on prior knowledge.

Insta avrilmakula
Avril Makula is a book artist, book designer and bookbinder. In her current practice, she prints and binds books using both new and old technologies, takes discarded books and restructures them into new forms, and makes prints using letter shapes. While much of her work explores the book as art using typography, geometry and colour as content, she finds herself increasingly influenced by the natural world around her. Avril co-curated ‘Place: an exhibition of artists books’, published a book called ‘Type Town: a neighbourhood of glyphs, graffiti, ligatures and legs’, and her work is held in public and private collections.
