Please join me for a virtual studio conversation about my process for creating artist’s books. I’ll talk about why I make them, subjects I explore, printmaking techniques I use in my books, paper selection, endpapers, covers and suppliers. I’ll discuss what I find to be the most difficult parts of the process and the easiest parts, or whether there is an easy part! I’ll show maquettes - those that worked and those that haven’t worked - yet. There’s lots to see and discuss!
