About

Members are welcome to work on personal projects of all kinds during Open Studios, which include a monitor but no specific instruction.

The monitor will be exploring a variety of book forms, so feel free to drop in and watch over her shoulder as she works out the structural elements that combine to create a book. Bring your projects and questions and plan to stay awhile. This is not a class or a formal teaching session but a chance to watch a book being made and ask questions about your own projects. We can learn together!

The last half hour is devoted to cleanup.

Details

  • Registration is required because there is a set number of artisans who can be in the workspace at one time. No drop-ins.
  • If you have questions, or are interested in becoming a studio monitor, email Print & Book Studio Lead Jane Kim at printandbook.lead@bainbridgebarn.org

Prerequisites

You must have taken introductory classes in either printmaking, letterpress, or book arts or have attended a studio orientation.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Instructor
Amy Goldthwaite

Amy has found pleasure in working with her hands since she was a child — from building environments for troll dolls to bead stringing, party decorations, sculpture, and bookmaking. Her hand-eye coordination is well used. She enjoys mastering thorny design challenges and exploring all things paper and fiber related. She can certify people to use the Takach etching presses, wood type setting, and the Vandercook proof press.
