A workshop aimed at photographers with completed projects who wish to make their first photobook mock-up.
Photographer and bookmaking teacher Christopher Manson will guide participants through the practical aspects of editing, sequencing and bookbinding, in order to make a small-format photobook mock-up.
Participants are asked to bring a set of work prints to be used in this book mock-up. These prints should represent a finished body of work and be no larger than 6 inches on the longest side. Materials to make one softcover hand-bound book will be provided.
