Make and Create: Book Making

Make your own accordion-style art book or journal with the guidance of local artist, Jessica Ream! She will teach book binding techniques, help everyone create their own book, and leave you to fill the pages after. 

Jessica is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. She is a painter, mixed media artist, and maker of books. 

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I seek emotional catharsis. 

My work is a visual expulsion of my intimate ruminations. Each piece is a visual confession, infused with an unbridled honesty I find paradoxically terrifying and liberating.

I am a painter, a photographer, a printmaker and a seamstress. I am a sculptor and a habitual collector of discarded objects. I am process driven; the physicality of the material capturing my natural curiosity. This child like act of discovery and alteration allows me to speak about what I cannot say audibly and drives me to create.
