Bookmaking With Kids

Part of a series of posts about the professional-development workshops in our Summer Camp 2009.

Marsha’s technique for making tiny prints will blow you away! She uses a credit card machine (the non-electronic kind) modified to make impressions from lino cuts and eraser carvings. The resulting prints are the size of a credit card, 3″ x 2″ inches. Participants will carve images into several mediums and print on a variety of papers, as well as small 8-panel booklets.

Everyone will print multiples from one of their plates, share them with other participants and create a collaborative, accordion-fold sampler. Terrific for art teachers. Suggested for teachers of Grades 3 & up.

This workshop takes place on Friday June 26th, from 9 a.m.–1 p.m., in the Community Room at the Redwood Shores Public Library.

Marsha Shaw holds an MFA in printmaking from California College of the Arts. She teaches bookmaking and printmaking to adults and children at California College of the Arts, The Museum of Children in Oakland, the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, the San Francisco Center for the Book and elsewhere.
