with Radha Pandey
Saturdays: March 6, 13, 20, 27, April 3, 10; 10am–12pm CST/CDT
This virtual workshop will focus on the juxtaposition of text and image, page layout, and pacing to create a narrative artist’s book. Participants should have an idea of what they would like to work on. This can be something in progress that is stuck or an idea they would like to turn into a book but are not sure how to start. Depending on ideas and related discussions, book structures and writing exercises will be taught and assigned. In addition, methods of low-tech image-making—hand-printing linoleum blocks, gelatin printing, pochoir, trace monotypes, and papercutting—will be demonstrated as needed. Participants should have some binding experience.*

For individuals to whom this does not apply, register at the rate listed first and, if you are able, consider making a donation when registering to support MCBA’s efforts to make reduced rates available.
What you'll need to participate: For this highly participatory virtual workshop, we recommend joining on a laptop or desktop computer with a camera and microphone, if possible. You will receive step-by-step instructions for downloading Zoom (it’s free!) and accessing the workshop online approximately 2 days before the workshop’s start date. You are responsible for sourcing your own supplies from the materials list. Teaching artists will answer questions about the materials list in advance of the workshop.
