Artists’ Books are often created to showcase art which is interactive, portable, movable and easily shared. Many artists’ books challenge the conventional book format and become sculptural objects.
This creative workshop explores the idea of art books in the form of a cube. Instead of a 6-page art book, cubes can present art in ways a traditionally bound book does not. It provides an intimate place to tell a story that can be stacked, displayed or nestled in a book shelf.
During the workshop participants will learn how to construct different-sized cubes. The resulting cubes can be painted, used to display prints, photographs, collages or drawings.
Participants are welcome to bring their own images and artworks for their work.
Materials and equipment will be provided, along with an offering of tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit to enjoy.
