Handmade Photobooks with Erik Mace

This onsite workshop will be an immersive primer into the world of handmade photobooks, using the Bartram Trail as our muse. With curiosity and wonder as our guide, we’ll explore a one-mile section of the trail while cultivating a joyful conversation with the land. Each participant will have the same goal: photographing with the form of a book in mind, sequencing those images, then printing and binding them into a handmade, single-edition book. As a group, we'll explore how bookmaking uniquely informs our photographic decisions. We will use this engaging three-day experience to focus on a finished object that intimately describes our own conversation with the land.

This workshop is open to photographers and makers of all levels. Participants will be offered the opportunity to have their photographs juried into the Listening to the Land: Reimagining the Bartram Trail community exhibition in Fall 2023.
