The primary workshop during my visit to Vietnam was a four day book arts workshop at the Contemporary Fine Arts Center, Hanoi, with 13 Vietnamese printers, painters, and graphic designers This workshop was the first experience these artists had with the idea of the book as art and the craft of constructing book structures. In this workshop, the basic principles and tools of bookbinding were explained along with brief cultural history of the book. Through the workshop we debated the definition of artists books and contemporary online resources were shared.
