My sincere appology. The email update sent on Aug 26 still had the old date of October for Pamela Paulsrud's Lifelines listed. My mistake, her program had been rescheduled for Sat./Sun. November 2nd & 3rd. I hope this has not caused any problems for you. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lifelines  Pamela Paulsrud

In this class, we will investigate and incorporate

the underpinnings of the hidden laws of nature,

sacred geometry - exploring these forms and

synthesizing the linear with the artistic

aspect of pattern and beauty. 

 

Step by step we'll design a template

from which to springboard to create

a portfolio of our own unique expression.

 

A compass, straight edge and a variety

of tools for writing and calculating forms

will be paired with graphite, ink and watercolor.

 

Music, meditation, sound and silence

will accompany us as we wead our way

through a series of exercises exploring

the tempo and voice of our unique line

- story, script, gesture and mark -

developing flow - letting go of the familiar

long enough to greet the unexpected.

Paired Needle Book Structure
 
It just sounds difficult, not really so hard, but it gives you bragging rights! You will be sure to impress your friends or family with your bookmaking skills when you show them this creation. An exposed stitching design on the spine of the book resembles a herringbone pattern.  This book is designed to lie flat when open which allows for ease in drawing or writing. Makes a great gift! Previous book making is recommended, but not required. Minimal supplies are necessary to continue making beautiful books at home. 
Sat. Nov 9,  1 - 4:30 p.m.   $70/$10 materials
