The online format is a series of live tutorials via Zoom. The tutorials
are recorded and the videos are available to registered students for 90
days. Students need not be present for the live sessions. Workshop fee
includes supplies and a detailed handout, which are mailed to arrive in
time for the first session. Zoom links will be sent the week before
class, and a tool list no later than three weeks in advance.
Karen Hanmer’s books are physical manifestations of personal essays
intertwining history, culture, and politics. She utilizes both
traditional and contemporary book structures, and the work is often
playful in content or format. Hanmer has exhibited widely since 1988,
and her work is included in more than 200 collections internationally.
Hanmer has twice presented at the Guild of Book Workers annual
conference. She served on the editorial boards of The Bonefolder and the
Guild of Book Workers Journal, and as the Guild’s Exhibitions Chair.
In mid 2020 Hanmer began to supplement in-person instruction with
virtual, and remains one of very few sources for advanced-level, online
bookbinding education. Her thoughtful approach to structure gives
students the tools to reach across history and technique to create a
sound and satisfying binding.
