Calligraphic art and artist's books

I'm excited about a class at the University of Southern Maine; I want to focus more on lettering as drawing and then using studies in accordion fold books. Contact the university or Rebecca Goodale for registration information, goodale@maine.edu
or email me with class questions: janscribe@midcoast.com

Accordion fold books and variations

October 30, 2010

Wishcamper Center, USM, Portland, ME

 This class will have two components. The first will be to make marks and lines with a variety of tools and ink on different papers. These gestural lines will move into words. Qualities of line and texture, space and content will be discussed in relation to adding text to books.

 

The second part will be to use these papers as foundations to explore the display possibilities of the accordion fold book: hanging book, landscape form, paper folding. The class will look at how content and words work with the form.
