Introduction to Bookmaking

Concertina Fold Album - Workshop 72dpi

Speaker: Annette Johnston

The Value of Creating Bodies of Work
Moving beyond the single image, we’ll explore how developing a themed series can strengthen your storytelling, clarify your creative vision, and give depth to your photographic voice.  We will look at ways we may discover these themes.

The Importance of Printing Your Images
There is power in the tangible. You’ll gain insight into why printing your work is essential, not just for sharing with others, but for your own artistic growth and connection to your images.  We will look at the beautifully hand-made, hand-bound books Annette has made.

Construct Your Own Concertina Photo Album
Enjoy the satisfaction of hands-on making as you create a handcrafted photo album using a concertina technique. This beautiful, easy to construct album will become a home for your printed images, lovely to look at and to hold, and easy to share with friends and family.

Workshop Outcome:
Participants will leave the workshop with a handmade, concertina photo album, ready to house their own printed photographs.
