What is Open Book Studio at KBAC?? Maybe you've procrastinated; maybe you hit something you don't know how to resolve, or need an impetus to pick up that unfinished book (or print) project and bring it to beautiful completion! Open Book Studio time is a fresh shot of motivation and inspiration! It gives you access to studio equipment and Katie's expertise! While this is definitely NOT an instructional class, Katie will be here to answer those questions that have you stuck. Students with printmaking experience may also use the presses.
