Workshops, Lectures, & Exhibition Openings

I love creating unique workshops for non-profits, corporations, quilt guilds and schools. If you have a bright idea for a specific group or event, contact me so we can make it happen. Some of my latest collaborations have been with students from the Urban School in San Francisco, Hayward school teachers, East Bay elementary school principals and creatives at Apple, Inc.

Drawing Disrupted: 15 Experiments

Whether you’re new to making or have been at it for years, creative habits can quietly settle into routine, and sometimes those routines start to limit what’s possible. Join e bond for 15 days of expanding how you see, think, and create. Through 15 inventive drawing prompts, e focuses on the “how” of making as much as the “what,” gently disrupting familiar patterns and opening new pathways into your process. You’ll experiment with disappearing drawings, asemic writing, drawing with two hands, and unexpected materials. Instead of chasing a polished result, e invites you to ask: How can we look differently? How can we pay closer attention? Some experiments may surprise you, some may feel a little uncomfortable, but all are designed to get you out of your head and onto the page.

Words Inform Images: 31 Prompts Using Writing as Inspiration for Art

A picture is worth a thousand words but words themselves are priceless. In this unique daily practice, multimedia artist and educator e bond explores the various ways that reading and writing can intersect with visual art and how one medium can inform the other. She’ll share some of her favorite fiction, non-fiction, poetry and music to generate interest points from which to play and experiment. See how these sparks can fuel visual art through collage, mark-making, and doodling, and how these visual observations alter your perception of the page.

Personal Map Making - A Daily Mixed Media Practice

You might think of maps as diagrams of physical places, but the irrepressibly creative e bond will show you how to re-imagine a map as a visual journey through your artistic and emotional places. In this 31-day class, you’ll use maps and mapping, their functions and characteristics, as a process tool for generating abstract compositions with mark-making, collage, doodling, and other visual experiments. Map-making will be your conceptual point of departure as you fill up your sketchbook with paint, photographs, leaves, ephemera, and pieces of actual maps to create vibrant, mixed-media spreads.

Unconventional Book Structures

For the adventurous book artist interested in exploring the book form, look no further than e bond’s innovative and exciting class. Because each of these bindings work with single sheets of paper – as opposed to folded stacks – these structures are surprisingly simple to create. In this class you’ll learn three different bindings, beginning with the palm leaf structure, one of the earliest forms of books. Then move on to two forms of the dragon scale binding, which can be scaled-up to sculptural proportions. Finally, practice the blizzard book, designed by Hedi Kyle, and learn how it can be adapted for a variety of ephemera.

Accordion Book As Art Form

Accordion books have been around for centuries but are often overlooked. This class explores how something as simple and unassuming as an accordion book can transform into three dramatic, sculptural artists books. The accordion form is deceptively simple, but is the foundation for all kinds of innovative, modern structures. Learn a simple accordion as the foundation, then explore how to evolve the form in three different ways: as a flag book, a tunnel book, and a carousel book. Break through the practical purpose of basic accordion form and create something unique and beautiful that elevates simplicity into art.
