| Book Arts presents the artist with unlimited creative potential. Students learn to make beautifully crafted bindings and book structures. They also learn to use traditional letterpress typesetting, combine text, image and multi-media techniques to make expressive and personal statements. Book Arts can be combined with printmaking, papermaking, photography, digital imaging, letterpress, drawing and painting to make this a very exciting and flexible medium | ||
