Monthly Meeting

Open to members and non-members. RSVP required.
Demo:
A Leporello Journal with Kat Kirby
In this fun workshop, Kat will teach us how to create a unique concertina journal with 3 signatures. The cover is folded in a pleated accordion style, although I like to make it with one cover rather than separate covers.
The name likely comes from the manservant, Leporello, in Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni. He was tasked with keeping a record of his master’s conquests, and had to find a way of maintaining the very long and expanding list! You can use your Leporello Journal however you want!
There will be no Tips & Tricks.
The list of materials will be shared with the RSVP reminders.
Your Directors present a brief slideshow, followed by a wonderful presentation with Paul Jackson!
Boxes: Should we be Thinking Outside, Inside or Between Them?
Paul Jackson gives reasons why it is preferable to think between boxes, instead of thinking outside them, when creating new work. He gives tips on how to do this and shows examples from his own creative practice as a paper artist.
Paul Jackson has been a professional paper artist and paper engineer since 1983. He has taught extensively, including at the Royal College of Art in London, MIT in Boston and is a semi-regular instructor at the Centro del Libro in Ascona, Switzerland. He has written 45 books and been a consultant for many clients, including Nike, Disney and the Harry Potter movies. His folded artworks have been exhibited extensively. English born, Paul has an MA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London.
