Storytelling with Artist’s Books

Join artist-educator, Dr. Pamela Harris Lawton, for a workshop on making artist’s books. Create a unique accordion book to capture stories about family, community, and the art educators who inspired you. Embellish your stories with photographs or drawings of your own. Copyright free imagery will also be available for your use. All materials will be supplied.

As a fifth-generation educator from Washington, DC and artist-educator-researcher, Dr. Pamela Harris-Lawton’s artwork is grounded in social practice, seeking to illuminate contemporary issues, cultural traditions, and the stories of people impacted by them. Lawton coined the term, Artstories to describe both her personal art practice and community-based teaching practice. As an educator she collaborates with students, colleagues, and communities, creating works addressing the needs and ideas of diverse groups of participants and connecting them through a common art experience.
