Through the medium of words we will contemplate our own place among the animals, observe the ways we impact our surroundings, and consider the specter of extinction. We'll approach the realm of writing as an ecosystem, a dynamic natural world in which our ideas, and voices, and writing tools can uplift survival and build sustainability.

Metamorphosis through Print and Bookmaking
TEACHING ARTIST: Laurie Brown

October 20 to December 15 [8 sessions, no class November 24]
ArtHome | 200 Mercer St
A metamorphosis is a transformation through various stages. Over the last two pandemic-driven years, we have all experienced change; we have all been transformed. In this class, using printmaking as a medium, we will create a circle book that will function as a diary of sorts. Through it, we will explore -- both visually and with words -- our own personal transformations. Class time will be split between hands-on demonstrations and work time. Each participant will leave with a deeper print practice, as well as their own circle book to continue adding to after class.
This is an in-person class. See our in-person policies here.
