From Landscape to Book: Handmade Photographic Narratives
Barbara Bosworth, Emily Sheffer
Tuition $1,200
Code P1534-26
In this workshop, participants explore the landscape through photography and transform their images into handmade books. Through field trips, discussions, and editing sessions, students develop a personal visual narrative rooted in place. Back in the studio, we introduce simple book structures, such as the pamphlet and accordion book, that allow images to unfold and connect in new ways. Combining photographic vision with tactile craft, this class offers a complete process from making photographs in the field to creating an artist's book that tells a story of landscape.
