Are you drawn to windows?

Do you have a memory of a scene

that you have looked out on, 

perhaps in the past or even in a dream? 

 

Do you often wonder

what it would be like to be on

the other side of a window

that you have seen in your travels?

 

 

 

 What do you see when you look inside

of your own windows?

 

Or when you look into the window of your soul?

 

 

During this workshop you will create a hand crafted book

that is filled with unique "windows" and collages that represent your world. 

Projects will involve collaging, painting, layering, texturing, stitching, wiring, attaching processes that will add a unique tactile and mysterious quality to your book. 

Because all the windows open from side to side, different areas of your collages will be revealed at different times. These openings will be perfect niches for a 3 dimensional object or small treasure.

 

 You will go home with a beautiful book, 

filled with new ideas

and techniques to use in future art projects.

The scenes inside and outside of your windows will be collaged or painted and layered with texture.  

Because all the windows open from side to side, different areas of you collages will be revealed at different times.  These openings will be perfect places for a 3 dimensional object or focal point.

 

 

After our two days together you will go home

with a beautiful book, and new ideas and techniques to use in future art projects.

 

 

During this workshop we will use these questions as our prompts…

Are you drawn to windows?

Do you have a memory of a scene that you have looked out on, perhaps in the past or even in a dream?

Do you often wonder what it is like inside a window that you have seen in your travels?

What do you see when you look inside of your own windows?

Or when you look into the window of your soul?

 

Here is some extra information for you!

Stacey Mattraw has hosted art retreats for nationally and internationally renowned artists over the years both in Cortona, Italy and the island of Bali. She has recently acquired this inspiring studio space in North Portland to make art, hold workshops and host visiting artists.

 Come and join Roxanne and Stacey for the pre-workshop gathering on Thursday, March 6th, 5:00-6:30, where we will have drinks and snacks. This is a great opportunity to meet each other and see where you will be creating some fabulous art over the next couple of days... Please let us know if you can not attend the gathering, otherwise, we will look forward to seeing you there.

 The studio is housed in a fantastic 100 year old warehouse space, that has been recently refurbished into artist and makers studios, close to the Fremont and Broadway bridges off N. Interstate. Directions will be sent upon enrollment. There will be a 1 hour lunch break each day. There is a New Seasons Grocery store 5 minutes away where you can get both hot and cold prepared food and just about any food/drink item imaginable. You are welcome to stay at the studio and work during lunch break as well.
