Studio Workshop: Bookbinding

Athens-based artist and Piedmont College professor Brian Hitselberger will lead a series of studio-based courses exploring various bookbinding techniques and approaches. Various book structures will be explored, and participants will leave with an understanding of how to bind their own books, and how to bring variation to traditional structures. Artists from all backgrounds are encouraged to attend, as these sessions are designed for enthusiastic beginners as well as more seasoned practitioners. The sessions will draw inspiration from the museum’s collection, including works from the archives and many not currently on display. The cost of the course is a $15 materials fee, which will cover all necessary supplies for the four sessions (September 5, 12, 19 and 26). Space is limited; call 706-583-0111 or email callan@uga.edu to register.
