Workshops
Transform your photography into a beautiful handmade photo book with expert guidance from Eliot Dudik.
There are no available registration dates at this time.
In this week-long intensive course, we will start by pouring over photographs you have brought to campus that represent a project you have been toying with or deeply engaged in. We will discuss strategies for approaching an edit and a sequence for differing types of work that tease out meaning and/or narrative.
Once we are settled on our edits and sequences, we will then discuss some basic strategies in photo book design. We will design our own books in Adobe Photoshop, print our layout spreads, and learn some proper techniques for folding and sewing our books. We will discuss various material options in photo book making and ultimately create by hand our own intimate, cloth-covered photo books. These books will be simple in structure, yet quite elegant, and are intended as an introduction to handmade photo book materials and techniques.
Note: All materials and supplies are included in the tuition.
