Thinking Through Making
Tracey Rowledge
The Daffodil Barn, Unit 2, Woodborough Yard, Woodborough, Wiltshire, SN9 5PF.
9 -10 November 2024
On this course you will learn how to make two paper-covered book structures designed by Tracey. Whilst learning these book structures you will explore how best to learn your craft, harness your creativity and develop the quality of your work.
Taking a new course is also a time to reflect on past masterclasses, to review and to see the knowledge and the skills you’ve accrued as a vital resource and reference point: without this looking back, it’s not possible to move forward as a maker. The aim of this course is to see bookbinding as a creative medium: focusing as much on the why, as on the how to, with the aim that you too may feel more able to create your own paper-covered book structures in the future.
This workshop is suitable for binders with some experience.
Materials charge of not more than £25, payable during the workshop.
Tracey studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths’ College, London, and Fine Bookbinding at Guildford College, Surrey. Her practice combines elements of both fine art and the applied art of bookbinding. She works to commission, teaches and collaborates with makers from other disciplines. Moving between disciplines enables her to keep her way of thinking open, despite the technically demanding process of bookbinding.
Tracey has exhibited internationally and her work is held in many private and public collections. She has received various awards, undertaken two residencies with David Clarke (silversmith). She is also a founding member of the international bookbinding group Tomorrow’s Past.
