Workshop: Making artist books

I went to a lovely workshop in a yurt at the weekend on making artist books with simple techniques

We learnt how to 

• decorate paper with marbling inks and water based paints and inks
• how to fold and cut the paper 
• how to make and attach hard backed covers

I haven't done marbling since I was at primary school and was re-inspired by the possibilities of this technique to invigorate drawings and papers and provide an interesting ground for collage.

I didn't manage to make anything particularly beautiful during the workshop but plan to use the techniques again...hopefully to better effect.
