Schedule:  Jun 15 & 22, 2021 — 4pm - 6pm (PT); 
5pm - 7pm (MT); 6pm - 8pm (CT); 7pm - 9pm (ET); 

A garden is a place of joy, solace, and reflection. In this class, students will encounter many book-making fundamentals while creating a paper sculpture with cut paper pages. Individual pages will provide freedom to experiment while the accordion structure lends the form its beautiful display. Add text or a poem and personalize the cover in your own style. All levels welcome. [I took this workshop with Bhavna and had a wonderful time exploring paper cutting and making the book to display my work]

Instructor and bio: Bhavna Mehta works with paper – cutting and embroidering it to tell stories that combine figurative imagery with botanical motifs, text and shadows. Using paper as skin and thread to connect and mend, using cutting and sewing to talk about exposing and hiding, she makes work about relating and remembering. Mehta has exhibited widely in San Diego and Southern California. She is the recipient of the Artists In Communities grant from the California Arts Council (2017, 2019) in partnership with Art Produce and the Creative Catalyst grant from The San Diego Foundation (2015) with Oceanside Museum of Art. She has won multiple awards in juried shows and she was one of the San Diego Art Prize emerging artist winners.
