For artists and writers interested in producing books and self-publishing, use the full range of resources from VSW Press to make books from your own imagery, texts, and ideas. Each monthly studio session will include basic demonstrations, discussions, skill-shares, and access to specific examples for imaging, making dummies, using page layout software, basic typography, sequence, editing, printing, binding, and other creation methods. Come prepared with images and/or texts or directly create them in the studio each month. Collaborate with others on book projects, get critiques, and learn independent publishing tips.
Included are additional weekly open studio times with the instructor or assistants present; printing expenses for edition sizes 10 and under; basic papers; and binding supplies. Additional costs for larger editions or unique materials may be required depending on your own ideas and projects. No previous experience with bookmaking is required.
