MAC News Release

Construct an accordion-spine flag book using stencil prints for your page design. This sculptural book opens with a WOW factor — pages that open in opposite directions to produce a cascade effect. 

We will build a prototype book form with blank pages first to get familiar with the format and construction components. After sketching and refining imagery ideas, we’ll make stencils from your own designs and practice stenciling/stippling techniques using ink pads as the color medium.

We finish by building a second book that includes your stencil imagery plus any additional writing/drawing that’s desired. This book form requires honing measurement, cutting, and assembly skills; the stencil technique lends itself to graphic images/shapes and color layering that can be transferred to many other paper-based creations. Those completing the workshop will take away a completed book plus their blank prototype ready to accept added imagery.

The workshop offered by Honolulu Printmakers will be at the American Savings building in Kaunakakai, in the former N8tive shop. Two class times are being offered: Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring-your-own lunch and snacks.

Registration opened on Feb. 18 at www.honoluluprintmakers.org/classes (look for the Molokai classes).
