Books Arts Center Summer Institute 2018

The Book Arts Center's Summer Institute features multiple weeklong workshops where participants can study with any one of a number of practitioners specialized in book arts and related fields. In this — our 13th year — we present two weeks, each with five courses to choose from.

Each week is filled with intensive hands-on instruction and practice, but there is also time to relax and enjoy the spectacular lake sunsets and bucolic surrounding area. Often, participants will work on their projects late into the evening taking advantage of the 24-hour access that the institute provides.
