Paper and Book Intensive

Paper and Book Inten­sive 2012
Sun­day May 13–Thursday, May 24
Ox-Bow, Saugatuck, Michigan

Now cel­e­brat­ing its 29th year, Paper and Book Inten­sive is a work­ing sab­bat­i­cal for prac­ti­tion­ers and moti­vated begin­ners in the book arts, paper­mak­ing, and con­ser­va­tion. Daily class ses­sions are com­bined with lec­tures, dis­cus­sions, and shared meals to pro­mote unusual lev­els of exchange and inspiration.

The pro­gram con­sists of two ses­sions. Dur­ing the first four-day ses­sion, par­tic­i­pants will take two classes: one meet­ing in the morn­ing and the other in the after­noon. The sec­ond ses­sion classes will meet all day for four days, mak­ing a total of three classes dur­ing the event. Spe­cial­ized class sup­plies as well as appro­pri­ate equip­ment and work­ing envi­ron­ments are pro­vided as part of the program.

PBI 2012 will be held at Ox-Box in Saugatuck, Michi­gan near the wild and sandy shores of Lake Michi­gan. The nat­ural envi­ron­ment, food and cul­ture of Ox-Bow has served as both a refuge and place of cre­ative refu­el­ing for many artists in the past 100 years.
