Event Overview
In this 4-day course, we’ll build a book using personal images and a variety of artistic techniques to make your vision come alive. We’ll focus on innovative and unique ways to preserve your treasured memories, as we work with acrylic paints, mediums, and textiles to alter the photographs and give them a painterly charm.
Learn ways to paint and alter your photos, integrate collage elements into your composition, texture techniques using mediums, ephemera and textiles, and simple book construction with an easy binding. I’ll provide a print of one of my images for you to use if you prefer to follow along step-by-step, or I’ll guide you as you work with your own. We’ll create textured book covers, signature wraps around hinged and painted pages, and then I’ll share how to create a beautiful spine, and bind it all together.
Join me on a creative adventure, and capture your vision!
No drawing or painting skills required. Class is open to all skill levels and you will receive personalized one-on-one guidance throughout the workshop.
Students should bring an apron.
