Students learn the basics of relief printing at home. We discuss ways to create relief blocks from materials around your house as well as more professional materials like wood and linoleum. We also cover a few tricks for printing including registering multiple colors and spoon-printing.

Paste Paper:
​Virtual Workshop

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 6-8pm Eastern Time
Virtual Workshop with The Center for Book Arts

Paste paper is one of the oldest forms of decorative paper techniques in book history. Often utilizing paste that is left over from binding books, makers can add pigments and paints to paste, then coat paper with the mixture, drawing back into the paste while it is still wet to create patterns and visual textures. In this two-hour virtual workshop, participants will learn to make paste, pigment the paste, make custom tools for their paste paper designs, and create beautifully patterned paste papers. Discussion will focus on paper selection, paste types, paste consistency, using premade tools, modifying and creating your own tools, and key patterning techniques.

Virtual Workshop with The Center for Book Arts

Coptic stitch – one of the oldest and useful book structures – is a simple sewn book that is extremely flexible. Because of its ability to fold back onto itself, it is the perfect structure for sketchbooks, journals, and datebooks. By the end of this two-hour workshop, participants will each have their own soft-cover coptic book!
