Wild Autumn Magic: Surface Design & Accordion Books Workshop with Andie Thrams, November 6-7, 10:00am - 5:00pm, LCC Building 11, Room 119. Explore the elusive creative space between care and wild abandon as a way to invite the magic of fall into the making of a book. The workshop will begin by working with pure color to create beautiful shimmering paper surfaces.Wild flora will be used for inspiration and as tools for drawing and painting in both traditional and non-traditional ways. Once dry, our paper will have a surface wonderfully primed for building additional layers of drawing, painting and writing. Directed experiments will dance between the careful and the out of control, using watercolor, ink, gouache, pencil and pastel to develop imagery and content. Finally, all will come together as the work is bound into accordion-folded structures, full of autumn magic. Color mixing understanding is helpful, though not required. All levels welcome, beginning to advanced.
