Books Alive

Sas Colby

Come to this workshop with one good  idea for a book you  want to make. It could be about a feeling, an object, an event, a place, or a story you  want to tell. You’ll be guided through a series of exercises exploring ten devices to bring your book to life. Students will systematically work these devices into their books, answering the question, “What do I do next?” A lively interactive group process informs the class. Suitable for anyone with book making experience, and for those who want to make their books more exciting.
