A Little About Me Professor Dawn Peterson, MFA

My Story

From a coastal Georgia island, I enjoy working with various materials and textures to create books that are unique or altered. I also enjoy combining traditional techniques, structures, and materials with technology such as laser cutting and 3d printing.
My work has been published in 500 Handmade Books, Hand Papermaking, American Artist, and various websites. My work has also been displayed in public and private collections, such as college and university libraries, as well as for companies and individuals.
I am currently a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design where I teach Drawing, Design Elements, and Principles to students using book formats and structures.
I am also a member of the College Book Arts Association.
