“The theme of this year’s charette is Citizenship.

8:00am – 3:00pm
The day included:
• Workshop
• Lunch
• Presentation of my work (on screen & physical)
• Conclusion: students present final work
Special Thanks to Silas Munroe, Kali Nikitas, and the design & illustration faculty at OTIS.

This intensive graphic design workshop offered participants a chance to engage the imagery and poetry from the exhibition Way Bay 2 in a new way, experiment with a Risograph printer, and create a collaborative book to take home. Using collage and physical layout techniques, participants designed book spreads and printed them on the Art Lab Risograph machine, resulting in a collaborative publication “WAY WAY BAY: The Poem is a two-way mirror concealing a page”.
This workshop was limited to twenty participants.
Special thanks to David Wilson.
