Artfolio
DJ Pettitt
Replace your blank journal with this
multi layered ArtFolio designed to jumpstart your creative process. You will
learn variations of fusing different mediums with varied design elements
creating a smooth and unified, print-like page that will easily incorporate into
various artwork. Construct a book base, then use the unique fused surfaces
created in class for your book covers and signatures. Finish your book by
filling the signatures with copies of my paintings and sketches along with
images and inspiration that you bring to class. Other book components include
metal hinges, pockets, and clay binding beads that I will make for you ahead of
time.
Choose a scaled down version (2 signatures and a 2 1/2” spine) that you can
finish in class, or a larger version (3-4 signatures and a 4” spine) for those
who work fast, or prefer to spend classroom time working more on process rather
than book construction. No sewing machine required, but please bring one if you
wish to add decorative machine stitching to your fused surfaces and/or book
pages. View more photos of book samples at:

DJ creates with a mixture of conventional and recycled art materials, combining them with her whimsical sketches and photographs. More of her work can be viewed at www.djpettitt.com.
