In the course Book Arts, students learn design and letterpress printing, along with other aspects of the book arts including bookbinding, papermaking, paper decoration, and the creation of illustrations. Along with studio work, the students learn about the history of printing and fine bookmaking along with artists books and contemporary theory. They have hands-on access to the Book Arts Collection in the library's Special Collection and view its collections of books documenting the history of printing.
