I am excited to be teaching a one day workshop, "Making Handmade Books from Found Materials" at the lovely Wintergreen Studios on July 9th, 2009. Check out this amazing year-round education and retreat centre in the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve in Southeastern Ontario at: http://www.wintergreenstudios.com/Index.php
I will lead you through the delightful experience of creating a handmade book from used sheets of paper. You will learn how to bind a soft-covered journal and alter the page surfaces with paints, inks, and collage elements, so they can be written upon once again. Bring along all those scrap sheets you have been saving.The workshop begins at 10:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. Lunch will be served and there will be opportunities for walks on the Wintergreen property. Guests may choose to extend their stay by arriving the night before the workshop begins, or staying on after the workshop has ended. Accommodation extra.
Tuition: $95 for the course plus $20 for materials

Hi Holly, I'm delighted to have found your blog - it was such a convoluted route I've lost track but I've just spent an enjoyable time reading all your posts and I love the look of your work. If you look at my blog you'll see it's is at a standstill at the moment but I'm mentally gearing up to start again. Now I'm going to look at your website to see if I can work out what your Cirque work is.
