ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category
Arts & DIY
Event Overview
In this workshop, students will be introduced to creative and innovative book structures using that most wondrous of humble materials, paper, and basic tools. Inspired by innovators in the book arts field such as Claire van Vliet and Hedi Kyle, the focus will be on form and structure rather than content. Each student will produce a collection of sample books that can be used as reference and inspiration for further projects.
I teach a lot of folded forms classes around the state and will select the forms for this session based on who registers and which forms will be new to everyone in the class.
This class is suitable for all skill levels, ages 16 and older.
Minimum age
All ages welcome
What's Provided
I provide all the materials, many of them pre-cut, for this class. I also provide a basic tool set for each student. Students should bring a notebook/pencil for taking notes and an apron (or wear studio clothes).

A great day spent in Alicia's classroom folding papers into fine little books! Small classroom with only a handful of talented students makes for easy quick learning, and an interesting day. Having some experience in bookmaking I especially appreciate the small library of models of books I have accumulated as reference thanks to Alicia's classes. In addition, she has taught me many little tricks and shortcuts, and ways to do things without math and cumbersome measuring!! Patient, friendly and skillful, Alicia is a good mentor to know. Classes well worth taking!

I recently took this workshop, not knowing what to expect. I had no previous experience with book arts but was intrigued by the pictures on the course site. Alicia's class was so much fun! She kept enrollment to a small group which allowed all of us plenty of time to create 5 beautiful folded pieces. I learned so much from her and from the other creative people in the group. My interest is peaked and I cannot wait to continue learning more from Alicia and others in the book arts world. Do yourself a favor and register for a class. It is a great outlet for anyone at any level of experience.

Class with Alicia was great. She's very knowledgable about the world of artist books. She taught us 5 structures, talked to us about Abecedarian Gallery, other book artists, and much more. It was a great class all around.

I was so engrossed with the class that time flew by! In between teaching us how to bind the books, Alicia shared with us her wealth of knowledge regarding Denver's Art Scene and various facets of book binding. Looking forward to taking many more classes with her! :)
