Created to celebrate the exhibit “Making My Voice Visible: The Early Years of Handmade Storybooks by artist Sushmita Mazumdar”, Sushmita created Let’s Tell Our Tales so participants can tell their stories as they fill three unique handmade books with original art and writing.
Each book, inspired by one of Sushmita’s, presents an opportunity to work with different techniques and media, from paper-cutting and 3-D structures to color pencils on pastel paper, Chinese ink and brush, and collage. Weekly themes for book forms and writings include inspiring structures, single words that suggest a story, and creating a container for memories.
All materials provided.
I will be teaching a free workshop on Jan 24, 10:30 - 12 at Cherrydale Library where the exhibit is. A reception will follow.
