In Edition

Writers Make Books

In this four-week class Students will work together to create an edition of their own writing.  The class will serve as an excellent introduction to all phases of book production: writing, selecting and editing material, copy-editing, typography, book design, and hand bookbinding.  The instructor will also devote a session to bookmaking materials and alternate book structures. All students and levels of experience are welcome. Each student will leave with ten handbound chapbooks.
