Join us for another round of tools and techniques to make your own artist books! Whether you’re a beginner or looking to expand your bookbinding skills, participants will learn the finer details of Coptic and Carousel and Star bookbinding along with tips on craftsmanship and production.A Coptic book is bound in an ancient technique that joins groups of pages together using exposed stitching along the spine, allowing the book to open completely flat.  A Carousel book is a layered construction that creates a three-dimensional scene that can be viewed from all angles.This binding style can also be called a star book and uses techniques from both accordion books and tunnel books. Both types of binding are excellent for featuring artwork of any kind.

*No experience necessary, all materials and tools will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own prints and papers to add to your work

Scholarship Program

SNAP is pleased to offer scholarship opportunities to individuals for whom the costs of printmaking courses are a barrier. SNAP scholarships are intended for artists and individuals who would otherwise be unable to access our courses but whose creative practice would benefit from the high quality instruction and technical skill building provided from taking a printmaking course at SNAP.
SNAP printmaking classes and workshops are offered on a cost recovery basis and range in price based on materials and duration. A SNAP scholarship will cover the full cost of the course instruction and the basic material fee.
