2010 Workshops |
 |
The 2010 Morgan workshop season has come to a close. It was an exciting
year packed with local, national and international artists coming through
the Morgan teaching their paper, book and print expertise to enthusiastic
students. Aimee Lee spent a month as resident artist with us building a
Hanji (Korean papermaking) studio that was used in her workshop. This is
now a permanent addition to the Morgan and the first (an currently the
only) of it's kind in the United States. We had several multidisciplinary
workshops including Full Circle Paper + Print where locally renown artist
Claudio Orso instructed students to make paper Saturday and create prints
on that paper Sunday. Also, artist, educator and Morgan board member
Shelly DiCello taught Printmaking + Drum Leaf leaving her captive
workshoppers with a book they created from their own prints. Melissa Jay
Craig taught Unusual 3D Techniques where students learned to use Kozo and
overbeaten Abaca to create sculptural paper works. Her own paper
sculptures were displayed in our gallery in the show Listening which
received local and national reviews. Fran Kovac went beyond expectations
once again teaching two outstanding book workshops one using wooden boards
as the covers and one teaching several methods of coptic binding int he
second. Steve Pittlekow returned to the Morgan to teach marbling as only
he can do and pop-up book master Shawn Sheehy taught the Language of Pop
Ups. There were so many amazing workshops it is hard to fit them on to
one page.
2011 Session 1 workshops will start in April so make sure you check back
to find out what is in store for next year. All we can gaurentee is that
it will be awesome. |
