Book Arts

The Accordion Book as a Removable Feast

Paulette Rosen

All Levels

Create an accordion book with removeable pages. Fold and cut framed page attachments (1- or 2- sided) to display removable content such as prints, photographs, postcards, or text. This kind of page attachment can be applied to a variety of accordion structures, sewn into a codex, used for displaying paper cut outs and layering translucent papers, and can even be fashioned as a paper quilt. Many basic skills of book binding will be introduced including measuring, cutting, and gluing. No experience necessary.

Term: 2021 Winter

Everything You Wanted To Know About REP Weave

The alternating color patterns are created entirely through the warp color order. Learn the fundamentals of rep weave, how to set up a rep weave project on the loom, choose your own project, and explore the classic and nontraditional rep weave techniques.

Photography

Be Smarter Than Your Camera

Melanie Stengel

All Levels

Cameras are becoming smarter and offering more features. Auto settings work well much of the time but by understanding the other settings, and when to opt for the manual setting, you can become smarter than the camera and unlock a new level of creativity.

Developing Your Portfolio

Phyllis Crowley

Intermediate + Advanced

Advance your photography to a higher level. Critiques of students’ work, assignments, and presentations of master photographers will strengthen the understanding of how and why photos work or may not work. Delve into the composition, depth of field, camera settings, mood, lighting, and contrast to help see the picture before clicking the shutter. A five-image portfolio will be required for the final class. This class will meet every other week.
