Concept
Dive deep into the world of printing and bookmaking! In this five-day workshop, we explore different printmaking techniques and bookbinding practices. Students learn about negative space and different printmaking processes, print on both paper and fabric, make multiple editions of individual prints, and discover new ways to bring it all together into hand-bound books. Join us for this exciting workshop, and leave the week with a varied collection of personal and vibrant pieces of art!

Join for a single day or the whole week! Whiz, Whoosh, Zoom! Art in Action. Get ready to move, make, and imagine! In this high-energy workshop, we explore the exciting world of motion through art. From flowing rivers and twisting roads to flying machines and spinning surprises, each day brings a new adventure. We’ll sculpt clay boats, build tunnels, fly hand-crafted kites, and create mesmerizing zoetropes. Using Ozobots, topographic maps, recycled treasures, and vibrant paints, we’ll invent whimsical machines and kinetic creations. Through sculpture, collage, and playful invention, we’ll turn movement into magic. At the end of the week, we’ll celebrate with a special gallery show featuring all our action-packed artworks! REGISTRATION: If you are interested in registering for single days, please reach out to Katie Sanders, Artistic Projects Manager, at [email protected] or call 970-924-5089.
