 UPCOMING WORKSHOP AT THE PRINT SHOP AUGUST 19 - 20!

 

Many of you will remember Jerushia Graham from her stay here in our Artist Residency at Ashantilly Press. We are excited that she has agreed to lead this incredible workshop:

                                                                      

BOOKBINDING 2-DAY INTENSIVE

During this intensive, participants will first learn how to create non-traditional custom book cloth. They will then bind a hardcover pamphlet book and a hardcover case bound flat back book. The workshop finishes with the creation of a clamshell box to house their two books. All skill levels welcome; No prior knowledge of bookbinding is necessary.
