Exploring papers, adhesives, paints, stencils, stamps and more, we will learn about and play with a variety of collage techniques in this workshop. The piece you will create is known as a “Masterboard” which can be cut into tags, cards, bookmarks, etc. Or you may want to keep it as is to frame and hang!
You’ve probably heard the term “mark making” and maybe you’ve even made some marks. Or wondered what it meant.
Mark making describes the way we can produce different lines, dots, marks, patterns and textures on any surface. Mark making can be creative and experimental, as it can be done with lots of different materials and tools.
Let’s create new journals from old books! (Or even new books).
Using a hard-covered book, you will learn how to successfully deconstruct it by removing the text block.
We will then reinforce the spine and create signatures (groups of papers to form the pages) using a variety of papers.
Once that’s finished, then it’s time to decide how you want to organize your pages, and we will talk about the various options.
Using bookbinding tools (provided in your kit), I will show you how to stitch in the signatures, and create the inside covers.
