Gallery Take Over Project/Open Studio: Your Future Self
Tuesday, October 13 | 1–3 PM
Who do you want to become? Explore your hopes, goals, and possibilities through a creative collage workshop, part of Gallery Take Over’s Interconnected Evolution project.
Using a printed photograph of yourself as a starting point, layer images, colors, and words to create a portrait of your future self. Reflect on what you want to nurture in your life and how you hope to connect with your community. There will be an opportunity to share your creation with the group.
No art experience is necessary. Please bring a printed photograph of yourself to use in your collage.Tunnel Books: From Flat to Three Dimensions
What if a book could travel flat through the mail, then open into a three-dimensional world?
In this hands-on workshop, participants will create a tunnel book—a fascinating artists’ book structure that transforms from a compact, mailable format into a dimensional scene when opened. Layers of paper recede into the book, creating depth, perspective, and the illusion of looking through a small window into another world.
We’ll explore the basic construction of the tunnel format, including how to create the folded supports and layered pages that give the book its three-dimensional effect. Participants will also learn how to design their layers to create depth and visual movement, while keeping the finished book able to fold flat for storage or mailing.
No previous bookbinding experience is necessary. All materials and tools will be provided. Come ready to experiment with paper, space, perspective, and a little bit of bookbinding magic!
