From Keron:
This is such a great way to deepen our relationship to our photography. Making books demands that we look critically at our work, distill our message, learn the fine art of sequencing, and delve into supportive design. Join a growing list of students who have realized their dreams and either self-published or found a publisher for their work. A number of them have raised funds for favorite causes and personalized the “Blurb” book to create original, compelling volumes.
We’ll look at favorite books (share a number of yours with the group), we’ll discuss the merits of refined layout, and layout that supports your vision. We’ll talk about fonts and front matter and paper and bindings. Whether you want to create a travelogue, a poetic volume of images, or finish a long term project, a book can be either the final expression of your work or a path forward to exhibits and greater collaboration.
Join me to discuss all of these topics and more. We’ll learn the Blurb Bookwright software and get started making your vision a reality in book form!
Class size is limited to 6 to ensure that I can work with each student in a hands-on fashion when we are putting our books together. 
 
Classroom hours: 9:30 to 4:30 each day with additional time for one on one instruction as needed. 
 
Class on June 8 is a half-day wrap up from 9am to 1pm.
