View all threadsDear All,
You’re invited to join me for the upcoming Make Your Mark: Printing a Flexagon Book - a virtual workshop on October 9, 1-4pm ET
This virtual class taught by instructor Maria G. Pisano http://centerforbookarts.org/people/maria-g-pisano will go over different methods of print and mark making in order to create a flexagon book, which will spring to life with your very own designs! How does one print without a press and still create images for one’s own artistic practices? This class will explore various ways of image making via the use of hand cut stencils, natural and found objects, designing and creating one’s own stamps, and more. Subsequently, using a variety of methods, hand print them and create your very own Flexagon book; a wonderful structure that spring to life when opened.
The numerous image-making possibilities inherent in these methods can all be created in your home studio or apartment, be it used for a unique piece or for editioned work. Class discussion will center on the versatility and multi-use of these unique methods and designs. This workshop is designed for teachers, writers, artists and anyone who loves to create a richer and expansive vocabulary for their work.
