The Movable Artist's Book
Session Five: July 14-26

Julie Chen
The Movable Artist’s Book

This workshop will explore content, design, and production strategies for incorporating pop-ups and movable mechanisms in artist books. We will begin by completing a set of quick technical models as we cover the basic techniques involved in designing pop-ups and movables. Students will take their ideas through the mock-up process and learn how to create and/or adapt templates for cutting paper pieces on the laser cutter. Then we will explore quick and accessible techniques for using letterpress to print visual content. Students will create parts for a small edition with the goal of completing at least one copy of their book by the end of the session. In addition, everyone will design and produce a page spread for a collaborative movable book. Intermediate/advanced level: students should have experience with Adobe Illustrator; bookmaking and/or letterpress experience will be helpful. Letterpress studio.
