Artist Books (Early College Program)

Explore the possibilities of producing high-quality publications using low-cost resources. Working alongside others with various backgrounds and practices (creative writing, drawing, photography, fashion, painting, etc.), students publish limited edition books and zines as a new means of sharing interests, ideas, and artwork. Basic Adobe Photoshop and InDesign software, printing from low-and high-quality printers using a variety of papers, and a range of bookbinding methods are introduced. 

Students also learn about pricing and how to promote editions for sale or distribution. No previous experience is necessary. This is a great course for those who are looking to expand their practice and discover new ways of presenting their artwork to the public.
