Dreaming

While Numenius was away the catalog came for the San Francisco Center for the Book. There was a week-long class I thought he’d be interested in taking, Mapping as a Creative Strategy. He always ends up with a lot more vacation time than I do. (If I had a week to spare I’d probably take the Weeklong Letterpress Intensive.)

Encaustic painting, pochoir, surface techniques, Turkish marbling, flag books, nature-print books with hidden hopenings: I want to take them all. Some are during the week in the evenings which is not practical and helps weed out some, but not enough.

I am left with longing and difficult choices…

  1. I’ve already mentioned Kate Godfrey of SFCB to you, haven’t I? One of these days I’ll have to get the four of you together: you and Numenius, her and Gene. And us. Birding party!

    Oh damn, I can’t make links here. Well:

    By the way, don’t forget to line those barrels with chickenwire or hardware cloth, depending on how mighty your gophers are.

    (It was fun seeing you two last weekend.)

  2. No wonder you are having problems picking. I could spend the rest of my days just taking one class after another. Fantastic link!

  3. Pica, take the pochoir class (French for stencil), you will enjoy it. Do you know Matisse’s fabulous livre d’artiste “Jazz”? It was all printed with pochoir, from his original cut-outs. There are wonderful, spontaneous things that can be done with the technique. Wish I could sit and talk shop with you!
