About the Workshop:

This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Maria G. Pisano

What is poetry? How do words inspire us? The class will begin with choosing one’s own text or a favorite passage, and proceed to extract words that can be formed into poetic form. Discussion will center on various forms of poetry, how to pull out meaningful text and compose one’s own poem. The next step is to respond visually to it via drawing, collage, printing and/or painting on the pages and transform them into a creative work of art. If time allows we will bind your pages into a book.


This workshop references Tom Philip’s A Humument – Please visit his site and read the introduction at: https://www.tomphillips.co.uk/humument


Required Materials:

  • Choose 2 spreads, or 4 pages of a literary novel book you like – something that is of interest to you and has meaning that you can respond to. Xerox the pages you have chosen - so you will have multiple pages to bring to the workshop and work on them. Please use good acid free art paper to Xerox your pages, no larger than 8.5 x11. Bring at least two copies of each page, so you can practice on one and use the second for your final.

  • Think of a media you like to use for painting (acrylics or watercolor only), printing - stamp pads, triangular make-up sponges - one per color; drawing - markers, colored pencils; collage, etc. – bring all relevant materials with you.

  • Additionally please bring your basic bookbinding kit: Self healing mat, small snap blade knife, triangle, stick glue, small scissors, pencil, eraser, 12" metal ruler, bone folder, brushes

A more detailed materials list will be sent to you upon registration.

Good fit
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
My husband just started using these and they feel comfortable. Hasn't used them long enough to see if his heels are better. He has a high arch so I bought him the XL and they fit perfectly.

No more painful cracked heels! These really do work!
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
These really do work well. This is one of the first winters that I have not experienced painful, cracked heels. They are long lasting, and definitely make my heels smoother and softer after wearing them. For the first few times wearing them I simply went with the moisturizer embedded in them. After a few uses I then covered my heels with Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment. This worked even better, and I would recommend it. I am very glad I bought these. Of note, I have really big feet that are quite wide and the XL are a little snug but not uncomfortably so. I use them overnight, but also have worn them under socks and they work fine.

Wonderful for dry feet
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
I have been dealing with dry skin and problems with the heel of my foot, so I thought I would give these a try. I am so glad I did. They moisturize beautifully. A must is you are having trouble with your feet.

X-Large is about a size 12-13 shoe size foot USA.
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
I love them they work fantastic. I am a big guy with swollen feet. Wear size 12 to 13 USA Shoes. They fit me just fine not tight. My feet felt good after wearing them for two days. Some dry skin pulled off with them and it says to wash by hand. I dont know about the durability but I am hoping to get about 5 uses per pair. Before they become unusable.
