Abstract
From books, workshops, internships, traditional degrees, and certificates to internet searches on YouTube, there are many ways that students are learning about book arts. One of the great things about the field is its versatility in connecting to different media, ideas, and purposes. We wanted to learn more about current and recently graduated students of book arts, where they’re coming from, what they’re thinking about, and how they’re incorporating bookmaking into their art, work, and careers. In the first of a series of interviews with book arts students, we talked to MFA graduate student Daniella Napolitano (she/her/hers).
