| LIZANNE VAN ESSEN - BOOK ART WORKSHOPS |
| I can be booked to come and give any of the following workshops, which can be adapted to any age group - from small children (who have learnt how to use scissors) to adults - and I have had a satisfactory CRB check at the enhanced level of disclosure. The workshops can also be combined and adapted to suit your needs. Organisations commissioning workshops have included Cambridge Regional College, Haddenham Gallery, Linton Village College, The Perse Preparatory School and St John's College School. 1. "Pop-up" paper techniques This workshop explores the qualities of paper and how it can be manipulated. "Pop-up" paper techniques, using scissors or scalpel, are taught, and can lead to books, cards, boxes or sculpture, with or without further decoration. 2. Making simple books (without a press) This workshops examines books and paper and explores a variety of ways in which books, conventional or otherwise, can be made and bound, and decorated. 3. Alternative Books This workshop examines the concept of a book - what it is that makes a book a book - and shows how books can be made from a variety of found objects, can take on a variety of unusual forms, and can lead to sculpture. |
