THE COMPLETE BOOK ARTIST
The year-long Complete Book Artist course at Hot Bed Press is now well established. It's designed to give aspiring book artists not only a thorough grounding in the practicalities of making books but also to address content by considering narrative and the relationship between text and image. In addition there are hands-on introductions to risograph printing, letterpress, silkscreen and relief printing, plus instruction in making a beautiful clamshell portfolio box. A year's membership of Hot Bed Press and 120 free hours over the year to use its facilities are also included in the package.
The course is taught by Sylvia Waltering. Sylvia makes and publishes books as one half of Battenburg Press. She is an artist working with a variety of media, including photography, text, installation and artists' books. This will be the fifth year that Sylvia has run The Complete Book Artist course at Hot Bed Press. She also has sixteen years’ teaching experience as a lecturer at Manchester School of Art. There are also guest tutors brought in in addition to show relief printing, and screenprinting to add to the artists' book repertoir.
We are now taking bookings for The Complete Book Artist for January 2020 - January 2021.
