tortoise-shell and the hemp-leaf. These books are soft bound, using
single pages printed only on one side. Folded or non-folded sheets of
light weight paper will

Turn Over An Old Leaf
Thursday, February 18, 2010
Join us on SATURDAY, MARCH 13th 11am-1pm for our PAPER FLOWER SCULPTURE
workshop with Paper Nerds!
Learn to create paper flowers from recycled pages of vintage books. Students will produce
a bouquet composed of delicate paper flowers and branches found in nature. Tish and
Shannon will also demonstrate a technique used in paper conservation to tone paper in baths
of acrylic paint and water. The dyed pages will be used to create brightly coloured paper petals
to contrast with the creamy colours of the old book pages. Students will also receive a goody
bag compliments of Shannon and Tish!
During the work week, Shannon Driscoll and Tish Brewer spend their day repairing damaged
works of art on paper ranging from torn prints, discoloured maps, bug eaten posters, stained
paper ephemera, moldy manuscripts, and the list goes on. They have owned and operated
The Center for Art Conservation, located in Exposition Park for just over two years.

transferring that image to a screen, pulling the actual
print and most
importantly where to get everything to do all of this. By the end of

Zine School with Winners!Press
Thursday, January 14, 2010
LEARNING! FUN! EXCITEMENT! PERIL?
Don’t worry, this is a beginner level workshop
focused on zine making. Zines are self-published booklets varying in
content (artistic, political, cultural, etc.). You’ll leave this
workshop with an understanding of numerous bookbinding techniques and a
few zines made by you! We'll also provide the materials you need to
continue making zines at home! And hopefully you like homemade cookies
because there will be plenty of them, and no moms telling you how many
you can have!
(Moms are welcome - cookie supervision is however
discouraged.)
