Mixed media, altered book workshop with Cathy Stoyko
at the Abbey in Cumberland Oct. 6th and 7th
Join Cathy Stoyko at the Abbey Studio in Cumberland for an intensive 2 day exploration of mixed media painting and altered book techniques, visual story telling and creating with intention. Using 2nd hand and 'freestore' children's board books as the base you will create a personal art book, your own a 'Book Of Shadows'. It could also be called a Book of; Wisdom, Dreams, Magic, Prayers, Visions... you decide. We will use images a
nd text to tell stories, honour muses, manifest visions, record dreams, recipies, significant memories, lists and more. This may end up being a work in progress and a jumping off point for future projects. Learn fun mixed media techniques that can be applied to other art practices, perfect for new and experienced artists.
"We will start by sanding and priming the pages with gesso. While these are drying we will look at examples of altered books and mixed media art and I'll demo a variety of mixed media techniques. Then we will start creating backgrounds and layers on the pages. For each page spread I'll suggest some ideas and give you prompts to jump off from. Work stations with tools, materials and prompts will be set around the room to use during the workshop and a creative flurry will be had!"
