Manipulating Leather
Session 2: June 2-14

Coleen Curry
Manipulating Leather

This workshop will cover a variety of surface applications used to turn leather and suede into beautiful pieces of art that can be used for a variety of applications. We will begin by exploring a range of surface manipulations and finishes with adhesives, foil, paper, and textures, and also discuss the uses and limitations of different leathers and tanning processes. Then we will use the materials we have created to make contemporary book structures. Students will take away samples to use as references, a collection of unique leather materials to use for their own projects, and one or more finished books. The workshop will be dedicated to fun and experimentation and will benefit book makers and other artists who want to explore this medium. All levels.
