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.

AMAZING!
Color: Rainbow Silver Glitter Spray(6.34oz)
WE LOVE THIS SPRAY!!!! I've already ordered it 3 times thats how often we use it! Very pigmented and it stays for a long time! A little goes a long way! Also easy to wash out and it smells AMAZING! I have subscribed for the spray because we love it so much! I also spray on my shoes to give them that little "umph". 10/10 recommend!

Pretty, does come off easily
Color: Holo Silver Glitter Spray(2oz)
Works well. Glitter does come off pretty easily. If on clothing you can easily pat it off of you which for me was a con but for others might be a pro.

Spray bottle was defective...twice!!!
Color: Light Pink Glitter Spray(4.05oz)
Product itself was awesome...when it worked. The design if the spray bottle is awful. The first one I bought only sprayed once when we first got it but then the spray piece didnt work anymore and only sprayed air. I got a refund on it after I told them. I thought maybe I just was unlucky and got a defective one, so I bought another. Same thing happened, only the push down spray part got stuck after using it once and it just sputtered out air and clear liquid! I was able to get a refund a second time, but I'll be looking for a different company to buy from. Sad cause the one time it did spray out some stuff correctly it looked beautiful.
