Using one sheet of printmaking paper, students will decorate both sides using various painting and printing techniques. The instructor will discuss color choices using the color wheel, and color theory. In the afternoon, students will cut and fold the painted paper to create three accordion-fold books, then use cutting and punching tools to create interest and depth. Finally, students will sew in a 12-page booklet using a simple pamphlet stitch.
Students will take home their three books, plus a selection of mark-making tools for future use.
Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting paint on, or bring an apron or large “painting shirt.”
There will be an hour break for lunch; lunch is not provided.

This fast-paced workshop will get you jazzed up for starting, restarting, and maintaining a sketchbook. Pull out any book (a blank book, one with a few pages your started years ago, or even an old printed book that has no readers today), grab your supplies, and Lee will walk you through several exercises to get you going and keep you going.
Lee will talk about paper quality, desired outcome, daily practice, why anyone should keep an artist’s journal or a sketchbook, keeping and displaying sketchbooks, and sharing your work.

The Totem Mobile Salon with Kim Walter will be on Sunday, September 17, 2023, from 1 pm to 4 pm. It will be in person at Kim’s house in downtown Santa Fe near the Capitol. The address will be provided upon confirmed registration. To attend you must be current on 2023 BAG dues. To register, email Gail Murray at gail@gpmurray.com. There is a maximum of six participants; after six, Gail will start a waiting list.
We will build a personal paper totem mobile based on how we see ourselves and how others see us. There are surprises along the way, because the session is all about observation, creativity, and fun. Each participant will walk away with their personal totem. The process is as much fun as the end result!
You may pay the salon fee of $20 (cash or check, payable to Kim Walter) on the day of the Salon. Kim will supply all materials and snacks.
Kim Walter was trained in the corporate world to manage interpersonal relationships, especially among creatives such as writers, editors, photographers, food stylists, art directors, illustrators, and publishers. She found art journaling in 2010, and has never looked back.
