Four spots left for "Calling All Cards" with Carol Pallesen
Friday and Saturday, September 24, 25, 2010
North Bend Housing Authority, 1700 Monroe, North Bend, OR
Brand new 2010 workshop just created by Carol.
Create cards that are gifts in this two-day workshop.
Projects will feature concertina folds-into-hearts, unique boxes, exciting decorated papers, and more. Fun and non-intimidating.
Great for experienced and non-experienced paper artists.
Reserve your spot, First come — First serve
A fun filled two-day workshop creating a plethora of cards and boxes that would make wonderful gifts. We really do have a fun time at our workshops, the excitement of the projects, the beautiful papers, and where snacking on food offerings the guild members have brought to share and provide sustenance to our creative brains, hands and hearts brings us to a whole new level of accomplishment.
Carol Pallesen has been coming to Coos Bay/North Bend from Reno, Nevada, to offer her incredible workshops for over 15 years. I don't want to give the exact number because it will age us both. Her studio, The Silent Hand Scriptorium has been her base since around 1960 where she does calligraphy, cards, and book arts. She travels the world, to much acclaim, and has done hundreds.... literally, hundreds of workshops, and we are very fortunate to have her come to the coast again this year with a brand new workshop.
With Carol Pallesen you will never leave her workshops empty handed or empty hearted. The skills, friendship and joy of creating is but a part of what you'll carry home besides a bagful of projects that you've learned. She provides quality papers, paints, etc. and we bring basic supplies from a list though there's always plenty of sharing. The workshop can be appreciated by all levels of experience, a little experience in paper work i.e. folding, scoring, cutting, etc. will make things easier, never-the-less, there is always someone who will lend a helping hand.

All Oregon Calligraphy Conference
AOCC–All Oregon Calligraphy Conference 2010
Saturday, October 9, 2010
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Sweet Home High School Activity Gym
1641 Long Street Sweet Home, Oregon
Cost: $37.50
The day will include:
Inga’s topic will be “Calligraphy and Drawing”
Choose from one of the following afternoon workshops:
1. Dictation from the Soul: Writing the Image: Mary Stupp-Greer
Using charcoal and pastel chalk, students explore the process of free writing on large sheets of paper to
access the imagination. Through guided exercises, words gradually merge and personally relevant content is revealed in a written image. This is a meditative, easy process to learn and can be adjusted to fit most two dimensional mediums. No drawing experience is necessary.
2. Minature Scroll Book: Patty Grass
Ever make a “TV” from a cigar box?—this is the same idea in miniature. Construct a box (2" x 3") from cardstock that looks like a book from the outside. Inside you see a window with a scroll attached to two dowels. The scroll moves by turning the dowels. We will make 3 boxes in class but the students will add content to the scroll on their own.
Have you tried to write on fabric with permanent markers or fabric paint? This is your experimental project called "create a calligraphic apron". Don't worry if you don't have much experience.
Learn a fast, fun alphabet that is a close cousin of Neuland. We'll create a small accordion book to use these letters in a quote.
Pep up you envelopes.
Make four cards using a 7 Gypsies clear stamp set. We will color with Copic markers, watercolor with Twin-kling H2Os, and create a distressed background. We will also discuss the proper use and care of clear stamps. The 15-piece stamp set is included in the class fee.

This one day workshop will include instruction and practice with the basics of italic handwriting as well as self-assessment techniques. All levels welcome.
