COURSES, WORKSHOPS, FAIRS AND FESTIVALS

Summer is very quickly approaching, the sun has been shining on us and the grass and trees have turned a beautiful green.  This summer is going to be busy.  The book arts course I am currently teaching is moving along nicely, and the students had the opportunity to look at some of the contemporary artist books at the Library and Archives at the National Gallery of Canada, a couple of weeks ago.

There are still a couple of spring workshops available before we head into the summer programming.    

MAY & JUNE WORKSHOPS
May 25 & 26, 2013 – 10:00 – 4:30 pm – Japanese Hidden Compartment Box
This is a two day workshop at the Orleans Campus in the Shenkman Arts Centre.  This box when opened in one direction has one compartment and when turned around and opened has two compartments.  The box is a compilation of four boxes with lids.  This workshop is a great deal of fun and at the end of the weekend you get to take home an artistic box.
