There is so much to explore about “home.” There’s the past: Who and where did we come from to arrive at this point? What memories do we have of other people, other places? There’s the present: Where is our house? How is it arranged? What do we have in it? Where do we go and who do we see when we go out? And there’s the future: How long will we be here? Where do I go from here? Using these questions as the starting points, we will construct an artist’s book, with text and images—including words from writing prompts, hand-drawn maps, and, hopefully, photographs, of your home and/or family members or ancestors— that reflect your perceptions, memories, family relations, and personal history.
Materials: Cutting knife; stylus (for scoring); sharp pencils; a good eraser (such as Pink Pearl); glue (UHU glue stick or PVA and brush or small roller); 12" ruler; and scissors. In addition, you will want to bring room layout drawings, photographs, and/or black-and-white-on-paper printouts of your home, yourself, your ancestors, or other drawings of the interior or exterior (sizes to be emailed once you have registered).
Optional/recommended: 12" centering ruler, bench hook with cutting mat (9" x 12" cutting mat [size is ideal]); bone folder.
Immediately after you register, look for a confirmation email and receipt. In the week preceding the class start date, you will receive another email with more details.
