Books & Letterpress
Lauren Faulkenberry
Letterpress Books: Guts to Glory
Code S00L
In this workshop students will produce letterpress-printed
books from start to finish. We’ll
make handmade paper from natural fibers,
explore book design, and learn the fundamentals
of letterpress printing. Image-making processes
will include multi-color linoleum prints,
woodcut, collagraph, pressure printing, monoprinting,
photopolymer, pulp painting, paper
inclusions, and other techniques. Through layers
of words and images, we’ll create compelling
narratives that invite multiple readings.
We’ll put it all together using traditional and
experimental binding structures. All levels.

Clay
Cynthia Bringle
Clay: The Next Level Code S00CA
This workshop will explore mostly
wheelthrown pottery—from technique to
design—with an eye toward raising each student’s
skills to the next level. We’ll work
with stoneware and porcelain and fire gas,
salt, and soda kilns. The workshop will include
field trips to area studios and discussions of
studio practice and marketing. During a twoweek
visit, Jerolyn Morrison will introduce
the ancient pot-making and cooking techniques
of the Minoan civilization (3000–1485
BCE). Students will make and use Minoanstyle
cooking pots to create ancient flavors.
Intermediate to advanced level; throwing
skills required.
