Making an Artist’s Book Workshop with Ben Blount
In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop, visiting artist Ben Blount will dive into the basics of bringing conceptual ideas to life in the form of an artist’s book. Participants will learn about artist’s books, start with some simple formats, and then dive into creating mock-ups for big conceptual ideas. No experience necessary.
