SCARBOROUGH ARTS

Exploring the Book Arts with Andrew Huot

DATES: Wednesdays, October 9th – November 20th (except for November 6th)
TIMES: 5:30pm-8:30pm
LOCATION: Big River Bindery (94 Crockford Blvd Unit 2, Scarborough, ON M1R 3C3)

In this course, students will learn paper decoration and book structures. Each week we’ll practice various techniques and structures, complete with handouts so everything is repeatable at home. Each technique can be used for many options including making journals, zines, or sketch books.

This class is for anyone who wants to make their own books to display their art or share stories in their own way. Starting at beginning structures and working our way to more complicated books, students at any level can build up the skills to use the book form with their art or writing. No previous experience will be necessary. This class is ideal for adults of any age. 

Access Notes: There will be an active listener present for all Workman Arts + Scarborough Arts Satellite programming.

Experimental Filmmaking with Niya Abdullahi

DATES:  Mondays, October 7th – November 11th
TIMES: 2 – 4pm
LOCATION: Zoom (online)

This is an immersive workshop-series into the world of experimental filmmaking. These workshops would be an opportunity to learn the ins and out of making an out-of-this-world film on a micro budget. We’ll explore different approaches and methodologies while also recognizing that there is no concrete way to make experimental films. What makes this form of film groundbreaking is the experiments in your own processes themselves. There is no one way of doing things and that’s the beauty of it. Participants will be taught the ins-and-outs of script-writing, shooting and editing. They will be working towards bringing a short film idea to life and by the end of the course they’ll have an opportunity to share their completed or works-in-progress films with the class. The only materials needed is a smartphone as we will be using our phones to shoot and edit the films.

The workshop would be open to only BIPOC folks.

Access Notes: There will be an active listener present for all Workman Arts + Scarborough Arts Satellite programming.
