Discover the magic of bookmaking through the luminous beauty of mica. In this four-day workshop, acclaimed book artist Daniel Essig guides participants through the creation of a hand-bound Coptic book filled with hidden niches, secret compartments, and sculptural elements. Combining traditional binding techniques with translucent mica, handmade papers, and found objects, students will create a unique artist's book that is both a personal archive and a work of art.
