@Mason What Is Lost,
@Mason What Is Lost, Is Found: Book Art with Suzi Banks Baum
Mason Library

Saturday, Sep. 21, 10:00am-4:30pm
 

What Is Lost, Is Found: Discarded Books as Page-Sized Canvases for Collage and Found Word Poetry

In this workshop we will use discarded books to create individual works of art. We will explore a variety of mixed media art including frottage and basic transfer techniques to make found word collages with stencils & acrylic & watercolor paints. When we work with old pages in this way, new stories emerge. 

Please bring an apron and water bottle. This workshop is open to all aged 13 and up. No previous experience necessary.
There will be a one hour lunch break from 12:30-1:30pm.

This workshop is FREE and limited to 12 participants. Please register at gblibraries.org.

 

Suzi Banks Baum uses writing, hand bound books, photographs and mixed media collage to say what she means. She believes daily creative practice is a super food.

Suzi’s collage work has spread in the world through a mail art exchange called FeMail, with artist Karen Arp-Sandel. Her artist books have been exhibited and archived at the Brooklyn Art Library, at No. Six Depot gallery in West Stockbridge, and in personal collections. She is editor and publisher of An Anthology of Babes: 36 Women Give Motherhood a Voice. Published in the Walloon Writers Review and The Collection: Flash Fiction for Flash Memory.

Most Wednesdays, Suzi can be found leading the Powder Keg Writing Workshop for Women at the Ramsdell Public Library in Housatonic, MA. Suzi travels yearly to work with women artists in Gyumri, Armenia for New Illuminations, a book arts residency. Learn more at suzibanksbaum.com.
