Making Meaning: Discussing Artistic Significance Through Book and Print -
​Virtual Discussion Course

Mondays, July 6 + 13 + 20 + 27, 2026 6-8:00pm Eastern Time
Virtual Discussion Course with The Center for Book Arts

This discussion-based course series offers a deep dive into the theoretical underpinnings of printmaking and book art, encouraging participants to critically analyze and contextualize their own creative practices. Each session will focus on a different area of the larger theme of the course: an introduction to making meaning, the role of the artist, materiality and meaning, making multiples, and an argument for print.

Through thought-provoking readings and group discussions, participants will develop a nuanced understanding of key concepts, such as materiality’s influence over meaning, power dynamics between maker and audience, and the impact of technological advancements, while honing their critical thinking and analytical skills. This workshop is designed for printmakers and book artists of all levels seeking to expand their artistic perspectives and engage in meaningful dialogue.

In this virtual workshop for beginners led by Instructor Beth Sheehan, students will learn the basics of pamphlet stitch. Sheehan will cover introductory topics including selecting proper materials and tools needed throughout the process.

Once students have mastered the basics, Sheehan will demonstrate how to modify or adapt your pamphlet to suit various needs—turning simple structures into exciting explorations of form. Over the course of the class, each student will make a 5-hole accordion with a wrap-around cover pamphlet, a double-pamphlet, a french-door pamphlet, a pamphlet sewn to accordion, and a single leaf pamphlet.
