About the Workshop:
This virtual class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Marianne R. Petit.
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to take your handmade movable cards and books and produce them commercially? This workshop takes participants through the process, from building prototypes and white book samples to preparing your artwork and dyelines in Illustrator, and covers all the steps involved in working directly with a factory to produce your books in quantity! Attend with an idea and leave with the knowledge to make it a reality.
