The Accordion Book: Printing Without A Press with Maria G. Pisano

Friday, Februrary 25th, 2022, 1:00pm-3pm EST

Tuition Cost: $60 for all plus students supply own materials

Virtual workshop via Zoom

How does one print without a press and still create images for one's own artistic practices? Class will explore various image making via the use of hand cut stencils, natural and found elements and subsequently hand print them to create your page designs. The numerous image-making possibilities inherent in this method can all be created in your home studio or apartment, be it used for a unique piece or for editioned work. Class discussion will center on the versatility and multi-use of these unique designs, culminating in a bound accordion book with covers. This workshop is designed for teachers, writers, artists and anyone who loves to create a richer and expansive vocabulary for their work. All experience levels welcome!
