    Art of Bookmaking

    Family - How to make an origami photo book you can fill with your family photos; 8 pages


    For me, book art is the intersection of art, messaging, and design. Artist books are tangible – who doesn’t love a chunky codex that fits into the palm of your hand? These books can be informative, hold collections of imagery, or ethereal, helping the reader reach an undefinable emotion. 

    Students will learn traditional and non-traditional methods of binding techniques, using media, image transfer, and text to create a limited series of unique "books.” Want to tickle your inner child? Let’s explore the paper arts, including pop-ups and movables

    Janet will teach how to paint a “head and figure”, with expressive and loose techniques in watercolors. We will learn how to capture the gestures, the changing colors in palette and on paper, all painted in a spontaneous manner.  Janet likes to capture the person in a “moment” that is in the middle of a breath and wants the painting to exude that “life”.  Her workshops are highly sought after and usually fill up quickly.
