Mono-printmaking and Long Stitch Bookbinding Class.

This month I had the extreme pleasure of teaching a mono-printing

and bookbinding combo class at the Oregon College of Art and Craft.

If you have taken class with me you know I love organizing supplies!

Before we began...

Half way through our printing.

One student created a whole series of moon prints.

Another played with geometric shapes.

We printed and printed and printed all morning.

And then in the afternoon we stitched together our books,

using our decorative prints for our cover paper, 

and for each signature of pages.

I had a hard time not wanting to take each and every one of these books home!

Such beautiful work.

Such a fun and creative group of students!

Art Camp Finale.

What a summer it was! So much teaching, so many exuberant children,

SO many books and prints. It was a whirl wind that I am just now coming out from.

Here are some pictures of what the littles and I were up to this summer.

I am sad to not share their smiling faces with you, but we will let them remain children

for a bit longer, and keep them out of the lime light. 

Together the wee ones and I glued and sewed together over 500 books.

We printed hundreds and hundreds of Artist Trading Cards.

We wrote alphabets in fancy fonts,

practiced our cursive,

and read many many stories about creative adventures.

The second best thing to being at summer camp,

is teaching summer camp.

I will be teaching with Oregon College of Arts and Crafts a bunch more this year.

If you have a child who loves to create, come join us in the adventures!

Book Arts Camp for Kids.

Looking for something for your wee ones to do this summer?

Look no more! Sign up for Art Adventures at OCAC, an amazing art camp for kids. 

I will be teaching Mixed Media, Book Arts, and Printmaking this year.

Above are examples of what the kids and I will be making in the Book Arts tent.

We will be learning to measure, score, cut, fold, and sew together a super selection

of beautiful books. Don't wait until it's too late, sign the kids up today!
