“Between the Covers”

A Mixed Media Book Arts Workshop with Katherine Venturelli

September 14-19, 2008

Come and playfully integrate and transform your own words and images into a unique book form. You will be introduced to some basic book formats (such as accordion and scroll) and utilize a variety of mediums. Your ideas, images, and words will be celebrated between two book covers.

Focus will be on both spontaneous and methodical approaches.

In this special scenic retreat, with support and encouragement, you will realize your own personal artistic intent and expression with the culmination of an artist book.
