"Memory's Touch--Communicating Despite Memory Loss"
Artist Sue Ann Robinson has been working with caregivers and the elderly for the past three years making book projects. She will bring examples of the projects and share her experience of making books with her 97-years-young mother with memory loss due to vascular dementia. She has received three grants to lead workshops that focus on the book arts as a means of communicating with those who suffer memory loss. She has taught caregivers and the elderly in various venues in Long Beach, and led a Book Arts for All--Artists, Teachers, Parents and Caregivers last summer. She continues to enjoy the dialogue with the community in a series for low-income seniors at residences in Long Beach this year.
The workshop will include two formats: a flag book and a pocket book. All materials will be provided. $5 materials fee collected at the workshop to cover the costs of papers. In addition to the two book structures, we will also make Japanese marbled papers that can be used for book covers for the flag book.
Please bring exacto knives, scissors, rulers, cutting board surface, a few tooth picks, glue stick, and pencil. (Your own bone folder if you have one. Travel hair dryer is handy too.)
