JXTA - 4 hrs.
This week I began a 5 week session on bookmaking. I have 10 students from the JXTA graphics roster and together we will all make books based on our interests. This week we brainstormed different ideas for their books, and everyone came up with a fantastic idea. One student wants to create an exquisite corpse style book with accompanying text that will be able to change as the books pages flip. I’m really excited about this project! Other students are making a planner, a sketchbook, a collection of mecha-inspired illustrations, and more! I’m excited to help them bring their visions to life.

This week the planning for the fashion show is well underway. Many people are getting closer to finishing their garments. I helped with the sewing machine and planning how to create a pocket in a sweater where there was none. Together we created a chest pocket that could fit a phone and charger.
