One of the other teachers at the international calligraphy conference was Victoria Pittman who just gave us a little heads-up here. She has posted photos of some of the work from her week-long class on "Flowers and Flourishes", using broad-edge brush techniques in watercolor, and incorporating lettering.
Her piece in the faculty show (similar to another she has just posted) was a dramatic assemblage including a calligraphic, gestural sort of... object. Maybe made of acrylic, I'm thinking. We had a fun collage class with her some years ago at the Siena Center in Racine, where she showed us wildly mixed media techniques, building up layers of materials, various metal-leafing and patinas. During our breaks in that class she got us down on the lakefront picking up bits of rusted metal to incorporate into assemblages. There's treasure everywhere!

Thanks for the comments JL.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun class in Wisconsin. I remember those wonderful rusty bits..I still have a few in my stash.
I mostly remember my daughter Johanna being with me...ostensibly as my helper...but being her first year away at college and on Spring Break, she slept through most of it!
I've put a link to you on my blog and have been trying to add a post with information too but now my blog is locked for some reason.
Hopefully it will be up and running in a few days as they promise and I can try again.
