Book Structures: Variations on the Accordion
Jackie Hefty Versatile and
adaptable, concertina or accordion style book structures lend themselves to so much more. We will 'play' with and investigate
variations on a theme using these structures. A style or structure that can be woven together, layered as a tunnel book,
bound with a coptic stitch or played out like the instrument it is often called by. Linear progression of a story line or
imagery is favored by adults and children alike, yet it can be appreciated for the simple alluring structural design alone.
Paper choices/options will be discussed. Participants will need to purchase or use from your personal stash as appropriate.
No book making experience needed, no specialized tools required to continue your 'play' at home. Tues
April 3, 10, 17, 24 6- 9 $150/$12 materials

Studio Landscape Painting in Acrylic: A Direct Approach
Kay Brathol-Hostvet
In this fast-paced, one-day workshop, you will
focus on painting the landscape from your own photographs "a la prima" style-quickly, loosely, and expressively-without
the use of multiple glazes or extensive blending. The direct approach is both visual and intuitive and encourages great
personal expression. Working in acrylic has the benefits of little odor, water clean-up, and quick drying which allows for
almost immediate changes. This workshop is for all skill levels, but previous painting experience in any medium is very helpful.
Sun April 29 10 - 5 $100/$7 materials
