According to Susana Dominguez, “experimenting opens the doors to innovation and introspection, and each mistake is potentially a new way to activate creativity.” Are you ready to explore new creative paths with the winner of the 2017 National Award for Artistic Bookbinding?
In this online course, she teaches you decorative techniques with dyes and acrylic colors to apply to tanned leather, vegan leather, and paper. Take an in-depth look at the different materials and the effects that you can achieve with each technique, and prepare a sample book that you can consult in your future binding projects.
Start the course by meeting Susana Dominguez, your teacher. She gives you a short introduction to her artistic career in the world of bookbinding and her greatest influences.
Afterward, explore the different types of leather according to the tanning and become familiar with vegan leather, seeing how to work it. Next, get to know the dyes and acrylic paints, then film and cardboard, as well as the rest of the tools that you use throughout the course.
Fully immerse yourself in the application of color and experiment with each technique on a different plate. Start with freehand dyes, then with resist-dyeing, droppers, and monotypes. Learn how to use acrylic on the skin and how to color with film or foil.
Now prepare the base cardboard where you paste the various samples that you made. Finish the course with a complete sampler of techniques that you can use to consult in your next bookbinding projects.
