Due to current weather conditions and the upcoming storm later this week, CGP is canceling the Friday lecture and workshop by Suzanne Moore on Friday, 2/12 and 2/13-14 respectively. New dates are being negotiated. More news when available.
Hello fellow travelers and lovers of art.
I am sending you information on two classes that I will be teaching in August and September. In August I will be assisting Ken O’Connell in Italy, and in September I will be teaching by myself on the Greek Islands. Visit the workshops page on my website for more information.
Suzanne Moore, Illustrator
Where: 227 Margaret Morrison Hall, CMU
When: Friday, February 12, 2010, 7:30 – 9 PM
Free and open to the public.
In 1998, Saint John’s Abbey and University commissioned renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson to produce a hand-written, hand-illuminated Bible — a work of art that unites an ancient Benedictine tradition with the technology and vision of today, illuminating the Word of God for a new millennium. Suzanne Moore, a member of Donald Jackson’s team, will discuss this project and show images on the various pages.
Hello Friends, As part of my on-going efforts to market my artwork online, I’ve started a blog: http://collagitation.blogspot.com/
“Collagitation” is the name of my future online stores on Etsy and Cafe Press. These are definitely works in progress, as is the blog. I started one because it is a good networking tool, almost a prerequisite for selling art online these days.
That being said, I would be much obliged if you’d sign up to follow it, if you are so inclined. Other artists and art followers like to link to blogs that have a following, so their site/blog is exposed to people visiting the blog. I don’t write a lot of posts, so you won’t be inundated with emails!
The blog also links to my artwork photostream on Flickr, via the small slideshow you will see on the blogpage. I eventually will have a lot more work shown, as well as adding new things on a regular basis.
Thanks to you all for your interest!
Hugs, Diane
WHAT: WORKSHOP: ko lazh
WHO: Suzanne Moore

ko lazh: “a kind of surrealist art in which bits of flat objects, as newspaper, cloth, etc. are pasted together in incongruous relationship for their symbolic or suggestive effect.”
The roots of collage reach back centuries to Asian roots. The distinct possibilities of the process are virtually untouched by most current work. Beneath the deceptively simple appearance of the collage medium is a process that is more akin to an engrossing puzzle or strenuous visual calisthenics. The resulting pieces will be unique to the process and to the vision and aesthetic of each designer. Creating, deconstructing and generating completely new images is the process we will use to make a series of collage works.
This class will incorporate(meld/cross-reference) mark-making, design, and collage technique through individual experimentation. Painting will provide the finesse when necessary, and various attachment techniques will be discussed and applied. Students will complete at least three 2-D pieces incorporating various collage techniques and design concepts.
Artists, book artists, designers and lettering artists of all stripes interested in expanding their repertoire are welcome. Tools and supplies list and pre-class assignment will be sent to registered students.
