Image-Making: A Bookmaking Workshop with Rosalind Pace and Marcia Simon, August 4-8, 9-Noon $350
|
 |
Image-Making is a workshop in creative bookmaking. Students will work with
words, papers, inks, letters, and found objects. Through a series of carefully designed, parallel, visual and verbal activities—including book design, poem-making, monoprinting and collage—students will learn to trust their intuitive choices and discover their unique hand and voice. In the process of doing the week’s activities, each student will design and construct a beautiful, coherent book, the form and content of which is not preconceived but discovered. The considerations of designing in both time and space, inherent in the book form, will generate a final book which is always a revelation, full of surprises.
Image-Making is for experienced artists and writers as well as beginners. It is also a wonderful class for family members to take together. Children must be over 8.
This workshop includes 4 hours of optional print studio time per day.
