The Mixed-Media Memoir

This workshop will explore the practice of visual storytelling using a range of mixed-media techniques. Each student will stitch a simple book and then fill it with stories as we explore different ways to represent them visually. We will cover illustration skills and visual composition as well as technical demonstrations of spray paint, mark making, embroidery, and layering techniques you can use to bring your memoir to life. When the workshop finishes, you will be on a path to continue working on your memoir. Bring materials from home to incorporate into the project. All levels. Drawing and painting studio.
