Concerning the Lab Class 51-425 & 51-426 (beginning) Bookbinding and Letterpress. This is listed as variable units, but one must elect 6 or 9 units and the maximum is 9 units. REGISTRATION INFO: If one is interested in registering for this Lab Class this is what needs to be considered: You will need to reserve, in your academic schedule, either three, or six hours a week to meet for lab class. If your semester schedule allows for 6 hours, then you elect 9 units. If one can only fit in 3 hours, then 6 units is elected. The day, or days, and times are then scheduled with me at the start of the semester. If you are registered, or if you have contacted me, I will be able to email you as to when an orientation meeting is to be held. LAB CLASS CONTENT: Usually there are three binding projects relating to basic book and box structures. We also work on one small hand typesetting & letterpress printing project of a basic nature to gain an experience with hand setting type, form building, letterpress printing and hand press operation. Normally the above project work is completed by mid-term, and for the remainder of the semester we hand set and print a small edition project. This is the total Lab Class semester experience for 6 units. Those who register 9 units are required to plan a personal project, and this is in addition to the assigned projects. A Mini Class may be possible, through Individual Project, which should be valued at 3 units. See instructor, Joe Dicey, about this.
