Artist Book & Pop-up Basics Workshop

Susan Lowdermilk, book artist and printmaker will present an "Artist Book and Pop-Up Basics" workshop at the Eugene Textile Center. The workshop will be held on Saturday, February 21, 
10 am to 4 pm.

The workshop will include a presentation of artist books from Susan’s collection. Students will create a variety of basic folded and stitched book structures and pop-ups. The goal is to learn beginning skills and binding styles, enough to charge your imagination to start creating your own books.

An artist book differs from a typical book in that the book is not merely a container for art, but is designed, conceived and created by the artist as an art form in itself. The viewer is encouraged to touch, explore and take a journey as they experience an artist book. Artist books often use text and/or images. However some artists’ books are solely conceptual. As a book artist, you are your own author, artist/illustrator, typographer, printer and binder.
