Rosie Kelly, world renowned calligrapher and book designer, will spend the weekend by first combining her love of design, color, texture and play teaching us to decorate paste paper with pigment and unique tools. The next day we will assemble our creations into book format. She will provide many exemplars of her work to help with layout, design and PLAY.
"Word Art" is Rosie's chosen art form to celebrate poetry, evoke the treasures in our unconscious mind and spark the creative muse in us. We will use a variety of tools, techniques and experiments... anything from coke pens and sink art to splatter work. Her works have been shown in many books, she has taught in fifteen states, New Zealand and Japan and her work is exhibited in many galleries including the Newberry Library in Chicago where she received the 1995 "Purchase Prize."
