Making Sustainable Photobooks

Vasileiadis and Chadbond lead an afternoon workshop designed to support photographers, artists, architects and designers to produce sustainable photobooks and embed sustainable thinking into their process. This workshop provides a comprehensive guide for first-time photobook makers, covering all necessary steps in the production process, including print methods (xerography, digital/indigo and offset), production workflow and colour management.

Powerhouse is inviting expressions of interest from established, emerging and student practitioners who would like to learn more about the photobook-making process. The four-hour workshop is offered at a subsidised cost. Apply by Friday September 1, successful applicants will be notified in early September.
