Along the way, you’ll gain confidence with essential tools and materials while exploring how each structure can become a vessel for creative content.\u003cbr\u003eTaught through hands-on demonstrations and guided studio time, this class emphasizes both craft and concept: you’ll leave with a small library of finished books and a deeper understanding of how book form can carry artistic meaning. Perfect for beginners and artists looking to expand their studio practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRequired Materials:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePencil and paper for taking notes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you already own the following, please bring them.
