Join us for public workshops in bookmaking and more at the Camera Obscura Art Lab at 1450 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica!
These workshops are being offered as part of my Studio Residency at the Art Lab, January 13-April 14, 2018. I will be creating and teaching in the beautiful Mid-century building that houses the Art Lab, overlooking Santa Monica Beach and the blue Pacific.
I am developing a gigantic group-created book - the Big Beach Book - during my residency, and you are invited to learn bookmaking skills while taking part! Put your own mark on the 5'9" high book while exploring stencil and stamp techniques, then create a small stamped/stenciled takeaway card in the same format.
