A Playful Introductory To Self-publishing
A Playful Introductory To Self-publishing
Join artist Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck for a playful introductory workshop to self-publishing. In two hours and through making with your hands, you will learn the basics of creating postcards and small publications in different formats, using painting, drawing, collage and book-binding techniques. Perfect gift as the year ends.
Through the infinite possibility of the pages, self-publishing is an excellent way to share one's creative practice offline. This workshop is an opportunity to meet an artist with international independent publishing experience.
For those who have existing material which they would like to bind into a booklet, please bring these along! If you do not have such materials, do not worry, you are still most welcome to join us as we will be making on the day using pencil and plant-based pigment paintings. Johanna will also answer your questions on how to publish your work.
