This is a weekend for playing with paper and a sense of place, taking inspiration from observing and inventing our surround. Possibilities include the view, both built and natural; the wind, weather, water, sky and wild life, as well as local and invented history. Visual enchantment is in these border zones. We’ll examine simple book forms, card portfolios and mail art. We will experiment with color, collage, surface embellishment, stencils, stamps, prints, pleats, folds and tears.
