Seven days beside the sea in the beautiful Stone House in Freeport will be the setting for this series of Book Arts related workshops. The week will be filled with a wide range of topics including printmaking, sequential images, moveable parts for books, inventive structures, bookbinding, box making, and design. During the course each student will have the opportunity to work with 9 different instructors in ½ day and all day workshops. Every participant will be exposed to a variety of approaches and opinions from a stimulating group of professional Book Artists.

This 3-credit course comes to a conclusion in the fall with an exhibition of the students' books at the Glickman Library.
