DESCRIPTION
The marks we make record time and human energy. Working with paper and cloth this workshop will examine different kinds of marks including stitching, resist and batik, discharge, drawn and painted marks and more unconventional marks such as burning, piercing, and mending. Each of these will address a different aspect of physical movement and gesture that through time and repetition evolve into richly activated surfaces. Simple bookbinding techniques will be demonstrated for constructing book forms and participants will be able to expand on workshop experiments applying them to their own materials and imagery. Resource material will include slide talks, examples, and videos.

DESCRIPTION
This class will provide a period of uninterrupted time to focus on your work and its sources. Participants will re-evaluate their work through one on one and group discussions and creating. Artist statements and other forms of articulating the work will be used as a means to further clarify your vision. Some of the subjects we will touch on are: the importance of research for building a strong basis from which to work, what constitutes research, the importance of tradition, identifying interests and how to feed creativity. Participants must be self-directed and willing to do some preliminary work in terms of developing a focus and gathering source material for use during the week. The main requirement is an open mind, willingness to share yours and others creative journey, and a desire to allow yourself the freedom to expand.
