Workshop: Books Are Wells of Living Water - msdm [mobile strategies of display & mediation] publications is a house-studio-gallery founded by paula roush.

Workshop: Books (Are Wells) of (Living) Water

Organized in collaboration with the the Photography students at LSBU for their degree show

In this workshop led by paula roush we explore the art of creating hand-made books contact printed in local bodies of water. We'll dive into the ancient suminagashi technique, marbling bound books by immersing them in water. Unlike traditional marble papers used as endpapers, our 'watery publications' transform the entire book into a bookwork.
