Make it New: Handmade Books
April 18 and 25, 9am – 12pm

Location: UMMA Classroom, 40 Harlow Street, Bangor

$75 Non-Members
$65 Members or UMaine students with ID

Over two Saturdays this workshop will explore the fundamental skills of making books by hand. We will learn some basic & timeless book bindings, from pamphlets to accordion-style. These bindings will springboard ideas for book projects the second weekend of the workshop.

Students will handle books from the instructor's collection that demonstrate the binding models & book ideas under discussion. This is a hands-on workshop. There are a few basic skills of folding & sewing paper that are necessary, with simple tools. All the materials for the first class will be provided by the instructor. 

Class space is limited to 15.
To register for this workshop please call 561.3350 or stop by the museum.

Instructor: Walter Tisdale
Walter Tisdale lives and works in Bangor. He has made books in collaboration with writers & artists, since 1979. He believes strongly that the books he prints & publish design themselves, given the collaborative nature of the work. Serendipity also has a playful role in his bookmaking. 

Please note:

Workshop fees must be paid within one week of registration to secure a spot. Fee is non-refundable within two weeks of workshop.
