A workshop with visiting artist Liora Mondlak at Hollie Heller’s oceanfront studio designed for artists and writers, and those interested in exploring the connections between images and text.

To create our mixed-media books we’ll re-purpose and re-imagine materials such as photos, maps, text, fabric, etc.  We’ll have fun with techniques such as printmaking, sewing, collage, and image transfers. By creating a collection of beautiful “pages” we will be able to assemble unique hand-crafted books.

Working with the haiku poem as our model, we will fashion small works of art in the form of artists books that incorporate imagery and words. Through a variety of prompts, students will create poetic works of art in the form of  unique books, using materials from the studio and those found in our environment.

The results will be layered and always unexpected. We each have our stories to tell, as well as an innate curiosity about each other’s stories. We’ll work individually and collaboratively to summon those stories, and transform them along the way. Come explore your inner artist as well as your inner poet in an inspiring and magical setting.
