Introductory Book Making for Photographers
Instructor: Timothy Briner

Two–weekend Workshop
Saturdays and Sundays 12–6pm : March 20–21 and March 27–28
Cost: $480 ($432 members)
Materials Fee: $45

Course Description: For professional photographers (but not exclusively) this workshop is an opportunity to learn to bind loose prints into a book, one that can serve as a portfolio, a book maquette, final monograph, or simply a beautiful way to preserve your work. This introductory course will familiarize students with the basic materials (paper, cloth, board, and adhesives), techniques (folding, sewing, gluing), and a brief history of photography books, as well as a final critique. Students will learn to create a professional–looking artists monograph or maquette with individual loose 8 1/2 x 11” prints, or smaller. C–prints, Fiber prints, RC Prints, and digital prints are all accepted. Students will assemble a hardbound cover with the option of a paper or linen surface. More advanced techniques, including a tipped–in cover photograph, will be discussed.

This class will teach students how to make beautiful one of a kind monographs for a fraction of the cost of a custom book. This is ideal for emerging artists who cannot afford to pay for a professional binder but want the look and quality of a handmade book, rather then print–on–demand.

Timothy Briner is an American photographer born in Chesterton, Indiana, and a graduate of the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts. His work has been exhibited in the US and internationally, including the Urban Culture Project, Kansas City; the former Bond Street Gallery, Brooklyn; Phillips de Pury, London. Daniel Cooney Fine Art (New York) is currently exhibiting his debut solo show. Briner is a member of POC, a North American and European photography collective. He has been making hand–made photography books for himself and other photographers since 2008. Briner currently lives in Brooklyn, NY with his fiancé, Laura. View his work at www.timothybriner.com
