Potpourri of Book Arts with Sibyl Rubottom (Online)

Schedule:
Sep 23, Sep 30, Oct 7, Oct 14, Oct 21, Oct 28, Nov 4, Nov 11;
10am - 1pm (PT) / 11am - 2pm (MT) / 12pm - 3pm (CT) / 1pm - 4pm (ET) 

We will explore a potpourri of media in this class. Printmaking without a press, drawing with pen, ink, pencil. You may say, “Oh I can’t draw!” Not to worry, we will just be making marks, doodling, exploring 2-D space.

We will make several simple book structures. Zoom allows us to invite guest artists to share their work with the class. In our Altered Books class, we changed an existing book into something new and different. In this class we will create a new book, a journal of sorts, for 2020.
