Bookmaking, Playing and Construction

After demonstrating lots of basic skills and a few need to know points like paper grain direction everyone created some wonderful experimental small books.
 

Inspired by the artist Jenny Smith I have been making 30 minute books as part of my practice. We decided to incorporate this within the workshop.  Although this was initially met with some protest of pressure I explained that this was like a mini deadline and the pressure encourages a dive into creation and an immediate engagement with process and materials that blocks out too much thinking.
