- The Stenciled ImageThu Aug 5, 2021 10:00 AM – 1:00 PMINSTRUCTOR STEPHANIE WOLFFVIRTUAL WORKSHOP THURSDAY AUGUST 5, 2021 10 AM TO 1 PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE CLASS LIMIT: 15Stenciled artwork generally breaks down an image into its most essential parts. Think of graffiti artists (such as Banksy and others) whose spray-painted graphics use stencils for making quick, repeatable images. In this workshop we will cover a basic method of creating and using stencils to make multiple copies on paper. Our focus will be on learning the general mechanics of stenciling. We will use acrylic ink, but demos will cover other mediums. Additionally, the use of jigs to get good registration both of the image and its placement on the paper will be addressed. This one-session workshop will provide a good basis for further experimentation afterwards.

- Concertina Variations: Concertina-Crown BindingSat Aug 7, 2021 10:00 AM – 4:00 PMINSTRUCTOR STEPHANIE WOLFFVIRTUAL WORKSHOP SATURDAY AUGUST 7, 2021 10 AM TO 4 PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME (THERE WILL BE BREAKS) FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE CLASS LIMIT: 15The concertina spine (an accordion of narrow folds) can be combined with other techniques to create some useful and interesting forms. This workshop will start with folding concertinas for accuracy, then move to the construction of a concertina-crown binding—a non-adhesive compound binding with a lovely, pleated spine and semi-rigid covers. This structure, while made with a concertina, operates like a codex and does not stretch out like an accordion. It was used on Stephanie’s book about the Beaufort wind scale created during her 2015 JCBA Salzberg Residency. We will finish with an examination of some other ways to use the concertina and the crown, building on the information covered. Measurements to make a small set of other concertina models after class will be provided. The concertina-crown binding model will serve as reference for future work. Participants should have solid basic bookbinding skills to get the most out of the workshop.
