About this Workshop:
Using a simple single sheet book fold technique, cardboard, and other recycled and found materials, we will create two mini art books that will incorporate expressive mark-making, collage, and multiple mediums. The finished books can be used as pocket-sized art journals that you can continue to add elements to over time.
Level: All levels welcome!

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Anne Barnes is an artist and graphic designer living in Washington, DC. She graduated in June 2020 with an MFA in Visual Arts and worked for many years as a book and cover designer in publishing. Her mixed media work—which includes the use of books as medium and the production of artist’s books—combines a high-keyed color palette, expressive gesture, and symbolic mark-making. The result is the abstracted visualizations of her memories, emotions, and varied perspectives that merge to become metaphors for exploration into themes of human nature, popular culture, feminism, and motherhood.
