Is there a certain formula that you must follow in order for a book to be a book? In this workshop Several Artists who have been published by Oranbeg Press have donated the use of their work for you to be the editor. We have prepared several “book ready” packets that will have a selection of prints for you to create/design/sequence your own edition of 1 photo book for you to take home. Oranbeg press will showcase examples of finish books from its catalog.

Oranbeg Press is an independent publisher based in Boston, MA and Brooklyn, NY. Oranbeg’s books are a mixture of artist created zines, photobooks, online media, and collaborative works. Our main goal is to promote the idea of “what is a book?” We use a variety of printing methods, unconventional materials and ideas in bookmaking to further this growing dialogue.
