This is Who You've Missed So Far this Season
Madeleine Durham
Madeleine’s Paste Papers are a unique creation and a brilliant way to add a fresh and original look to your creative book art, collage, and calligraphy creations. In this one-day workshop you will learn the brush technique that Madeleine has developed over the last many years. You will learn what kind of brush works best and how to hold it so that you create a variety of lines, shapes, and patterns. You will also learn tricks for blending colors. You will leave the class with a basic knowledge and ability to create straight lines, wavy lines, subtle blending techniques and geometric patterns. We will dive into painting with paste right away with simple lines and colors and quickly proceed to more complex patterns, colors and fun magical techniques. Madeleine’s paste paper technique is delightfully spontaneous. Come to class ready to have fun! WABI SABI: The Spirit of Collage
Donna Watson www.donnawatsonart.com donna@donnawatsonart.com Wabi sabi is a Japanese aesthetic. This Japanese aesthetic is a beauty of things imperfect, incomplete and impermanent… rustic, earthy, textured and organic. Boro is a Japanese word meaning “tattered rags” and is used to describe patched clothing and bedding. Many years ago, the poor Japanese workers patched and repaired their clothing until they looked like tattered quilts. Today, Boro clothing are considered national treasures. Boro embodies the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi. Instead of fabrics, we will use hand painted Japanese washi papers. On the first day I will demonstrate how to create these papers using acrylic paints and a Gelli printing plate. Artists will then make their own papers using paint, washi papers, rubber stamps, stencils and stamping tools. On the second day, the artist will learn simple compositions, design elements and principles based on Zen tenets like balance and harmony. They will then create their own collages using their papers, with my individual help.
