Text As Image / Collage As Writing

About the class:

Description:
This studio class emphasizes an approach to writing that is inseparable from making things with our hands. Students will investigate the intersection of language-based and image-based collage, working experimentally and at times collaboratively, to create a series of visual and textual work. We will also incorporate basic screenprinting techniques and various transfer methods for text and image. Throughout the class, students will learn about DIY publishing, small independent presses, and the history of authors working as printmakers, bookmakers, and publishers to enable the distribution of their work. The class will culminate in the publishing of individual broadsides and a class publication.
