Voluminous Volumes

This course is a playful, experimental, but also practical exploration of books with VOLUME. What are books with volume, you may wonder? For starters, you can imagine a conventional album, a bound book consisting of blank pages intended for storing or displaying images, photos, etc.. In the case of an album, the objective is to build a structure that can accommodate the added volume of material the user will place inside. There are many ways of approaching this challenge and we will explore a number of them during the course.
But books with VOLUME encompass so much more than that! How much ‘stuff’ can a book successfully accommodate? Can we incorporate samples or objects with various dimensions? Are the pages themselves thick and sculptural? Does the book itself become a sculptural object? What are the considerations of material, function, size, weight, or robustness that one should consider?
This is a workshop ideal for those interested in Artist Books or those curious to push the boundaries of what books can be. Join us to experiment, share, and delight in VOLUMINOUS VOLUMES!
