Using the Coptic stitch or the Fukuro togi stitch, learn how to make and bind a simple book and then start playing with giving importance to the unimportant. What lives in the margins of your life and how might this book help open you to the gifts that live there?
Tuesdays, Sep 12 & 26
Ashley Cook is a queer, multidisciplinary artist and designer with a keen interest on how we perceive and notice the world through language and metaphors. She works with paper mechanics, charcoal, acrylic painting, block printing, or a combination of these mediums. These workshops focus on shifting perspectives and how we see the world through playing with alternate ways of seeing, mapping, and visualizing the world. When we free ourselves from “one way” of seeing, what possibilities open up for us and for the world? In these workshops you will explore using paper, paint, sketching and other paper-based techniques in a fun and supportive environment.
