Class Descriptions:

BASIC
BOOK BINDING CLASSES
Instructed by Sandy Webster
Students
will be introduced to Japanese Stab Bindings, books
with variations on the Accordion Fold, Hard Cover
Blank Journals with Coptic Bindings as well as several
Folded Constructions. We will also look at works that
show how the content or subject of the book can be
built into the form.

DESIGNING,
CONSTRUCTING AND USING A FIELD JOURNAL
Instructed by:
Sandy Webster
Students will
design their own specific journals that will also incorporate
all the necessary equipment to work with in the field. Papers,
paints, pencils, pens, places for collected objects and
eyeglasses …. whatever is needed can be accommodated in these
highly individualized portfolios that travel from field to
studio.
|
MIXED MEDIA
CLASS - IDEA TO FORM
Instructed by:
Sandy Webster
This class is
designed as an exploration of the path from idea to object. We
will begin with visual definitions of specific words, which
trigger ideas that resonate differently with each student. From
there we will advance through a variety of processes that
construct and enhance those concepts.
The work can take on any
form, which can reveal or conceal as much as the student wishes.
The concentration of the class is to bring form to idea and is
open to all levels.
Suggestions for forms are book, altar piece,
screen, box, basket ... any form that addresses and contains the
concept of each student individually. |

 |
|
Instructed by:
Sandy Webster
We will learn and
put into practice various techniques such as grinding pigments
from local clays, transferring imagery, chemically rusting
papers and altering the surfaces of cloth and other materials
while constructing unique and individualized forms that reveal
and conceal space.
Students will
complete a comprehensive notebook of these techniques and
the possible uses in their own work. |
BOOK, BASKET
AND BOX: Placement of Memory
Instructed by:
Sandy Webster
This class will
organize the collectibles of a specific time or place.
First the size of
the project is determined by the laying out of the pieces to
be "saved", then appropriate fabrics and papers are selected
to create a book and design a box which will hold not only
the book, but the souvenirs and a small basket. Basic
bookbinding, box making, and basketry are the techniques
used in creating a unique space for your collection.
