All levels of artists can enjoy and learn from this workshop with experienced teacher and artist Mary Lamboley.

The special characteristics of a sketchbook are our point of departure: It is a book: it is portable; it fits in a bag/is smaller than a breadbox; it is a companion; it can be filled with personal ideas, thoughts, and images; it can be filled with non-personal ideas, thoughts and images; it can be a place to register daily activities or record momentary occurrences; one is not precious with it, yet it is singular, one can be direct and sincere; one can be highly inventive; it can be verbal or pictorial, a collage; to look at it you have to hold it; it is one page at a time; it can pay homage; it can be a compilation of a variety of things or a collection of similar sorts... it moves with you; or moves you; or moves you to move; it allows you to be still as you mark the passage.

Students will learn a tradtional book binding technique to make a personalized sketchbook. Additionally, This workshop will feature demonstrations and instruction of drawing from observation. Subjects may include the figure, still life and landscape.
