66-6418 Advanced Bookbinding

Advanced Bookbinding is the final class in the book-focused thread of the department. In this class, students are expect to synthesize all the skills they have learned and to produce an book work, either a unique structure, installation or an edition that reflects their highest artistic development. The class will be structured into two sections: planning the work, and making the work. Students will be guided in learning new techniques as they pertain to their specific projects. The central work in this class is the production of one large, ambitious project-either an edition, a large scale sculptural piece or installation. You will be asked to create a proposal for this work that outlines both conceptual, structure and technical issues, with a timeline and a budget. You will then execute this proposal.
