Louisa Boyd: Artist’s book with paper cut details

In this workshop we will make a complete miniature artist’s book, using a concertina structure. It will involve working with an original print (provided) for the interior pages, adding a variety of paper cutting and piercing techniques to create decoration and texture. The Japanese hole punch is great for making decorative patterns, and you will have an opportunity to experiment with it. So, if you have one do bring it; there will be spares available for those without.

Materials: £3

Tools list: craft knife/scalpel, cutting mat, metal ruler, variety of sizes of needles, Japanese screw/hole punch, small pointed scissors, sharp pencil, rubber, bone folder, PVA glue and waste paper for glueing out, glue brush, two small pressing boards and a weight or portable book press
