Image-Making
Registration for this class is now closed. We hope to see you for another Botanical Creative Arts class soon!
How do we capture a plant’s beauty and intrigue on paper? In this two-day class, the Botanic Gardens will serve as the source for material and inspiration for creating prints, and then using the prints to make books.
Participants will learn several image-making techniques–such as frottage and mono-printing– that create unique marks on paper. Next, participants will use their own creations to construct artist books through accordion folding and stab binding.
