VIEW SUPPLY LIST

Make images that inspire writing, writing that inspires images, and create work that combines the two with Stuart Kestenbaum and Susan Webster.

 
Course Description

Activities in this class will include daily writing and visual prompts as ways to generate work.  Participants will learn the low-tech printmaking techniques of gelatin-plate process and monotype drawing and use these along with drawing and collage to make image and text components. Formats will include simple book structures and one-of-a-kind pieces. The emphasis is on experimentation.  

All levels welcome.
