Artist/poet Marcia Roberts and collagist Lyn Belisle join together to offer you an enchanting afternoon of handmade books and heart-made poetry. In this four hour workshop, you will create your own handmade sewn and collaged pamphlet book, then fill the pages with words from your heart that merge into poems of grace and authenticity.
This intensely personal and deeply creative workshop is for everyone. You do not need to be an artist or a poet to discover the hidden depths of words and images that are your unique gift. And it's fun! |

From a review of Marcia's book of poetry, What She Knows:
Marcia Roberts' reflective serial poems pursue the connecting events of one's life. Gleanings of distant lives and gone worlds merge into more contemporary spaces, careful and curious perspectives moving through memory toward some future realization in the poem. Fragments of landscapes in South Dakota, California, Texas, and Spain arrive through voices, conversations, and the textures of the inanimate found in imagistic relations, like the sound of acorns hitting a roof. -Bob Arnold |

What you will learn with Lyn:
Sewing a chapbook poetry journal with a beautiful collaged cover What better place to write your thoughts and memories than in a hand-crafted chapbook made with your own hands? Chapbooks are the traditional format for poets, but they make wonderfully practical sketchbooks as well and can be constructed with your choice of paper on the inside. You’ll love the infinite possibilities of making your own chapbooks. These little journals go together beautifully, and the covers can be as simple or complex as you want to make them. Join us and give it a try! All materials provided! |
