Hardcopy 2014 Workshops Announced!
On December 13th & 14th, Hardcopy: Edmonton’s Artist Book and Zine Fair is hosting a series of workshops in the studio space at Society of Northern Alberta Print-artists (SNAP). There are four great choices this year with some wonderfully talented peopole: letterpress with Cate Kuzik; calligraphy with LynnAnn Babuk; pop-ups & paper folding with Kevin Zak; and book binding with the Collective Scribble.
Interested in participating? Email hardcopyedmonton@gmail.com to register!*
Intro to Letterpress with Cate Kuzik
Saturday, December 13th from 11-1:30pm – $25/person | Facebook Event
Turn your favourite catch phrase or quote into a large font poster in this hands-on demo style letterpress workshop. Participants will combine hand rolled color blends with over-sized metal & wood type to create a small edition of 11×15 posters. Designed as a class where people work in pairs, sign up with a friend for double the fun!
Cate Kuzik is a local, community-taught artist currently creating her fun, colorful letterpress creations as Ochre Lea. When she’s not carving images or printing on the letterpress, you may find her crocheting, knitting or making jewelry.
Calligraphy with LynnAnn Babuk
Saturday, December 13th from 2-4:30 – $20/person | Facebook Event
This mini workshop will demonstrate various styles of lettering, along with a brief history of lettering and the writing equipment. Students will be given the opportunity to learn basic lettering forms, practice the strokes and the sequences to forming the letters. The class will result in a small take home lettering piece and a base knowledge of the calligraphic arts.
Pop-ups & paper folding with Kevin Zak
Sunday, December 14th from 11am – 1:30pm – $20/person | Facebook Event
Learn to make your own pop-up greeting cards. This workshop will introduce you to the art and craft of paper engineering. Learn about paper and the history and mechanics of bending, folding, and gluing paper to make pop-up creations. In this workshop you will make three different types of greeting cards.
With a passion for design in all forms, Kevin Zak runs an independent design consultancy, specializing in book and exhibition design, and is a contract academic at the University of Alberta.
Book binding with Collective Scribble
Sunday, December 14th from 2 – 5pm – $25/person | Facebook Event
Join The Collective Scribble to learn how to bind your own journal that will incorporate found and recycled materials. We like to call these “Left and Found” Books! Students will learn a variation of the coptic stitch and walk away with their very own hard cover book. All necessary tools and materials will be provided but please feel free to bring along your own papers, ephemera and favorite art supplies!
The first masterpiece any artist ever made was a scribble! Karly Kulpa & Christina Hamer believe that everyone is an artist. They bind books from reused papers to spark that childhood creativity of scribbling on scraps that once burned in all of us.

*Each class requires 10 participants to run, and space is limited!
