Instructor - Jim Weaver
Saturday, October 21, from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Jim Weaver, of Ada, will share the techniques he has been developing for relief printmaking from tooled leather. Beginning with the history and lore of western leather tooling, we will each tool a traditional design, ink and print from it as an exploration of the unique characteristics achievable from tooled leather. With an initial project completed, we will each create tooled leather pieces to combine into a collaborative print. The group will work together to print an edition from the individual pieces.
Cost: $120 Supplies and lunch included. Tools will be provided for use in studio.

Tear it up, and let it go!
Needing to take out a little anxiety? How about taking it out on a piece of paper, then letting go by creating something lovely?
Carol Ann Webster and Annalisa Campbell will introduce you to methods of transforming your scrap paper into elements of a work of art containing your personal hidden message. They will encourage you to “let go” as you tear into the process. Collage and altered paper techniques will be shared so that you can continue tearing it up in your own home/studio after you complete your first piece at Brayer&Brush.
All supplies will be provided for the workshop, including one 12x12 cradle board. However, if you have something you would like to tear up, bring it on! A supply list of the materials we use and general instructions will be given at the workshop.
