dirty book – inside pages

There  was a nice turn out to support the local artists at Lynn Arts yesterday.  My book created a bit of interest in looking for the “dirty.”  For those who can’t see it in person, it has to be handled to experience the dirt.  As you turn the pages,  you make an impression and the pages make an impression on you, by leaving a little graphite/charcoal on your fingers.  Happy Art making!

little house a gelatin print
aprox 8″ x 8″
I was inspired by some children’s board books that I was priming for an altered book project.  So I dropped everything and dug through the pile of experiments and collaged this little house on a path.  It is fun to be inspired by what is before me.  Enjoy an accordion book that I made in a similar way.

Accordion books in various shapes ©2010 linda germain
I am pleased to share that I am offering an accordion book workshop at the Essex Art Center.  Just one day and you will be showing off your art in a book form. These are the details:
56 Island St. Lawrence, MA 01840
Tel: 978-685-2343 Email: info@essexartcenter.com
Date:  Saturday, September 25th, 10 am -2 pm, $40

We will create the basic form and then use collage and printmaking techniques to complete the book. Bring your our imagery and ideas and we can incorporate them into the process. The accordion is a great way to show off a series of prints, tell a story or display small artwork. EAC provides materials. We need at least 4 people to run the class so call, ask questions and sign up early.
