Out of the Studio: A Watermarked One-Sheet Book

I spent this past week at The Penland School in North Carolina. It is a magical place I first visited in 1993. Georgia Deal invited me as a visiting artist in her 8-week course Paper & The Unique Print, and I shared a variety of watermarking techniques with participants to add to their printmaking repertoire.

Here’s a group project. Each student cut a watermark in buttercut, which we attached to a 22″ x 30″ deckle box screen. When dry, the sheet was cut and folded into this snake fold book.

Origami on the bus! Denver bus driver David Busse gains students attention and engages them with origami before and after school. How cool is that?

I’m delighted to have a piece in the show The Book as Art: The Page & Beyond at the Columbia City Gallery in Seattle. If you’re in the area, check it out and attend a panel discussion with some of the artists on Saturday, October 19, 4–6pm.
