Cathy Skowron has been an artist and educator on outer Cape Cod since 1969. Her interest in and love of the natural landscape is reflected in her art and her life. When painting or teaching she likes to consider Robert Bresson’s statement “make visible what, without you, might perhaps have never been seen.” She has an MA in Education from Goddard College, and her writings on critical and creative thinking and alternative assessment have been included in numerous books and manuscripts for educators. She has studied art in France, Italy, and on Cape Cod with Carol Whorf Westcott, Salvatore Del Deo and Elizabeth Pratt. Skowron has exhibited in a variety of venues in both open and juried shows, and her works are in private collections throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. She is a member of the Truro Group and PAAM and is represented by Cortile Gallery, Provincetown. www.cortilegallery.com

Play with letters, words, papers, inks and found objects – and discover your own unique images. Through a series of parallel visual and verbal activities including book-design, poem-making, monoprinting, lettering and collage, students generate the materials from which to create a handmade book. The form and content of the book are not pre-conceived, but discovered as students construct their books on the space of each page and in the sequence of time. The books will be filled with beautiful images and surprising revelations.
This workshop is for experienced artists and writers, as well as for beginners. It’s a wonderful class for family members to take together. Children must be at least eight. Its methodology also makes it eye-opening for teachers.
Of this class, one student wrote, “In Image-Making the integration of the visual and the verbal happens as if by magic. In this class you are in the hands of experts."

Rosalind Pace, poet, artist, teacher, has been Writer-in-Residence at the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School since the school was founded in 1995.

Her poems have appeared in several literary journals, including American Poetry Review, Ontario Review, Ploughshares, Poetry East, The Iowa Review, and others. Her collages and handmade books are in public and private collections. She lives in Truro.

Marcia Simon, writer, psychotherapist, artist and teacher, works in private practice. Her novel, A Special Gift (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978) was made into an ABC After-School Special, which won a Peabody Award and was re-issued on DVD in 2005.

In abstract art we find and create our own structures. This workshop will focus on composition, spacial and color relationships, process, techniques, and developing inner trust. Class discussions emphasizing the compositional relationships of abstract and representational art will help the representational painter make the leap into abstract art. Familiarity with the use of acrylic or oil paints is the only experience required. We will work on several paintings at the same time over a two day period.
