Paper Crafts for All Ages with Colleen Cavin - Printmaking July 25, 2010

Join us for some papercrafting fun this summer — and learn a little bit of history, too! Colleen Cavin is a fifth generation Oregonian. She studied calligraphy and book binding in Portland and then armed with a BA in art history and a Fulbright scholarship, she went to England to hone those skills. In 2003 she was elected a Fellow into the prestigious London–based Society of Scribes and Illuminators. She teaches calligraphy and book binding (and their respective histories) in the Portland area.

Each person will take away a number of prints made from their one printing plate
