The Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University's  
Wimberly Library in Boca Raton announces a weekend workshop with  
artist Béatrice Coron.

CUTTING for DESIGN with instructor Béatrice Coron
Two Days: Saturday & Sunday, November 10 & 11, 2007
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Jaffe Center for Book Arts: Book Studio 350C
Class Limit: 10

A creative approach to papercutting: participants will learn to use  
papercuttings as images and as tools for stenciling while  
experimenting with 3-dimensional structures for artists' books.  
During this class we will explore how to balance positive and  
negative space and the different ways to adapt photographs and  
illustrations to papercuttings. For beginners or for advanced  
students to challenge their skills. Tips, tricks, and resources will  
be provided.

We will work on the first day with black & white and color collage,  
and on the second day with stencils and dimensions. We'll be working  
with stencil paper (kakisibugami, linseed oil and acrylic paper),  
vellum, and different styles of Tyvek.

One work study scholarship is available, which offers free tuition to  
a currently-enrolled FAU student. The scholarship student is  
responsible only for the materials fee ($8). In exchange for this  
opportunity, the scholarship student will be expected to provide  
assistance to Jaffe Center staff before, during, and after the  
workshop--about 4 hours total. Deadline for application: October 4,  
2007. The application process is very informal; instructions are also
