University Art Museum Programing:
OutsmART: Bookmaking and Storytelling
November 4, drop in from 10am-2pm
Devasthali Hall, Room 106
Bookmaking and Storytelling: Accordion Books
This workshop will also be held November 18 and December 2.
NMSU Art Museum invites you to participate in a series of three bookmaking workshops related to the current exhibition Celia Álvarez Muñoz: Breaking the Binding and its accompanying publication. Participants will tour the exhibit, learn the tradition of Artist Books, learn introductory bookmaking techniques, and use these new skills to create books for their own artwork and storytelling.
Participation in all workshops is not required, but encouraged as some skills will build on the previous workshop. These workshops run in collaboration with Celia Álvarez Muñoz’s retrospective exhibition, Breaking the Binding, and participants can choose to exhibit their books with the University Art Museum in the Mullenix Gallery, alongside Celia’s murals as part of a growing collection of stories from our shared communities. All ages and experience levels are encouraged to attend.
In this workshop, students will learn basic a book-making technique to create accordion-fold books that tell stories of their choosing. Working with craft materials, markers, pencils, and crayons, students will create and decorate their accordion books with stories of their choosing. Participants can choose to exhibit their finished artist book in the museum’s Mullenix Bridge Gallery, exhibited alongside Celia Alvarez Munoz’s murals in Breaking the Binding.
