Windows into Spring: The Art of Fenestration for Book and Paper Artists
A Workshop by Jocelyn Curry
Saturday, March 19th 2016
10 a.m. to 1 p.m
Room 020, Collins Library
University of Puget Sound
Glimpses of what is to come on the next page of a small book or inside a card happen through small, cut-out windows. Called fenestrations, these can bring elements of surprise and dimension to your work. To practice this, we will make a pamphlet-style booklet on the theme of spring flowers using Arches hot press paper, map collage, rubber stamps, and our own handwriting.
Presenter: Jocelyn Curry is a calligrapher, illustrator and graphic designer living and working in Shoreline, WA. As an artist with diverse interests, she enjoys teaching tips and techniques applicable to book and lettering artists’ projects and skill sets.
