EDU Room 506

The artist’s sketchbook is the perfect place to get lost in, try new techniques, improve on skills, look at unexpected subject matter; it’s a place where you don’t have to commit and where you can be fearless. A sketchbook is to share or to keep private, but for a sketchbook to be most valuable it should be used on a regular basis. In this workshop, we’ll start by binding our own sketchbooks – any size, using any papers to suit the individual – and spend the rest of the time filling it and talking about all the ways in which it can be filled. Inspired by the work of Danny Gregory (www.dannygregory.com) and projects like 1000 Journals, this class should open up new creative pathways for artists of all types and skill levels.  Supply List will be provided.
