A not e
from the Director
Thank you for the warm welcome into your vibrant community!
If we have not met, please don’t be shy! Personally meeting the
students, faculty, and supporters of the Workshop is my top priority.
I am excited to continue exploring the Workshop from all angles
during this Spring Session. Will you join me? Consider registering
for a workshop in a new discipline, inviting your friends to an
upcoming gallery show, volunteering during an event, or making a
donation to support the Workshop.
In 1963, an article promoting a demonstration by Ann Lehman,
one of CAW’s founders, proclaimed: “Sparks will fly. Masks will be
provided for close observers.” This so vividly expresses dynamic
passion within the CAW community. I look forward to cultivating
this spark, both in celebrating our legacy, exploring the present,
and forging a bright future together.

as long as you are comfortable using it (DSLR, point and short, smartphone or tablet).

Streamlining the Production of Artist Book Editions
When making multiples of a book, artists must approach the project with a different set
of design constraints than when making a unique volume. The process of streamlining production can be fun and creatively challenging. In this workshop, students will
learn how to make choices concerning reproduction methods, bindings, edition size,
and structure based on limitations of time, facilities, and budget. The class will include
directions for making jigs and templates, and suggestions for making the production
process more efficient. Participants in the workshop will design and produce a small
edition in the class, using rubber stamps and other easy reproduction methods for
content. Materials included.

Book Sculpture
By learning a few simple paper manipulation techniques, a hardcover book will be
transformed from an everyday object into a unique sculpture. The pages of the book
can be folded, cut, rolled, punched, glued, crimped, embossed and ripped to create a
visual interpretation of text, material, form and content. The versatile and flexible material of paper lends itself to an internal and external dialogue using layers to hide and
reveal content where idea over object and the beauty of form are at play. The class is an
excellent lesson in symmetry, balance and positive/negative space. Open to all levels.
Bring two books to alter. List with further materials will be provided upon registration.
Bringing a lunch is recommended to save valuable work time.

Monotype Printing on Fabric
Explore the wonderfully spontaneous technique of monotype printing on fabric using
textile paints. In this workshop, students will explore the use of several substrates to
create monotype prints, including gelatin, Plexiglass and ceramic tiles on both dry and
wet fabric as they experiment with subtractive and additive methods for applying paint
and imagery. Leave class with an armload of samples that can be embellished and
embroidered to create finished fiber art pieces, or combine them into a larger piece
or art quilt. Textile paints are water soluble and easy to clean with just soap and water.
If used correctly, they can leave little or no trace of a hand to your textiles, while you
can enjoy the ease of working with paint rather than thickened dyes. On the second
day, students are welcome to use hand stitching and beading to embellish their prints.
Open to all levels.

Intelligent Objects: Empathetic and Smart Art
A National Exhibition Juried by George Fifield, Boston Cyberarts
Intelligent Objects is an open call for artworks that explore the cross-section of analog
and digital media. In an age when our toasters communicate over the internet and robots
vacuum our floors, this exhibition explores those artistic objects - or their representations - which appear to be responsive to our existence, or at least demand an empathy
that we give to sentient beings.
