Participants will learn to make colorants from sixteenth-century vegetable dyes and pigments from familiar plant colors. The class also covers using tempera, watercolor, and acrylic paints. Whether new to book arts or experienced, participants will construct a hardbound book with Coptic stitch binding using the decorative papers they create.
