Australian book artist and paper engineer, Jean Kropper, will be teaching our July workshop. How exciting!! Thanks to Zoom this workshop will likely include participants from three continents! Jean writes, "When talking to people in my book arts group, I realized most of us had made many beautifully bound books that were blank. I had too. I wondered, why? I realized we had not had a process, the design skills, or confidence to put our own stories in them. I wanted to help change this by creating exercises to build skills to use our own stories in book art, art journals and artwork. As a first exercise, I will show you techniques to create your own unique handwriting styles to use Words as Art. These styles can be used for different creative projects: as patterns for book covers, artwork, and in art journals to tell your stories."
