Encaustic Painting
This class will cover the basics of the ancient technique of painting

Slip Cases
Slip cases are a source of protection and support for books, and also 
an opportunity to enhance a book's beauty on your shelf. We will 
explore two slip case structures, one sturdy protector and one a 
quicker, lighter-weight version. Bring books to encase and be inspired 
to spice up the books on your shelves!

Get the Lead Out: Improvisational Letterpress

produce a small broadside, postcard or simple greeting card.

The Watercolor Monotype
If you love to watercolor than this workshop is for you. Learn the

skill to continue to marble at home. Students will leave class with a 
collection of papers for all types of projects.

Creative Journaling
This class is for artists and creative people who have blank books just 
waiting to be filled. Creative journals are repositories for things 
that inspire us and are therefore places we can go to when seeking 
creative inspiration. They allow one to stop and savour, to explore and 
to foster inner awareness. We will explore various types of journals 
and the different purposes they serve, as well as various approaches to 
keeping them.	(eight sessions)	Heather Allen Swartthouw

Teen Program: Multicolor Relief Printing
Learn how to create multi-color relief prints using the process of 
reduction printing. This intriguing process produces surprising and 
wonderful results of layering color as you work from one linoleum block 
to “reduce” the block to its final state. We will also be doing a class 
portfolio exchange of the finished prints.
March 6, 13, 20, 4 – 6 pm		Katherine McGinn	$110 (includes materials)

Grades 4 – 6: Recycled Books
Use materials that are readily available around the house and community 
to make fun books that can be private journals or whimsical 
sketchbooks, homes for collections or sanctuaries for dreams.  We will 
begin with basic projects that are easy to do and then explore more 
involved book structures.  This class is open to young adults in grades 
4-6.
