a summer workshop: book release & exhibition
this summer, along with my colleague amy fidler from bgsu, we created a non-profit and independent workshop that we titled SWEAT (summer workshop for experimentation and thought). our goal was to create an opportunity to make art and design over the summer in a setting outside of classroom constructs, although amy and i did function as the group leaders. we invited 11 current bgsu students and recent grads to join us in our endeavor. the results of the four week workshop was a 194 page book based on defining the graphic culture of toledo. the book is, at this precise moment, being self-published through lulu.com and we will be having a book launch and exhibition at artomatic 419 lite in Toledo on september 14 and 15. more details of the book launch to come.
below is a small sampling of pages from the book. and for background about the workshop, please visit http://www.sweatspace.com

Workshop seemed like a success. Any picks of the upcoming book? I’d like to see some spreads.
I think this is a great idea, getting community of designers and students together for a collabrative project. The workshop sounds like a lot of fun and a great opprotunity to get out and see local work.
I really like this piece, the two colors used in the page works really well together. It really brings my attention to everything and the context of the page really makes you curious about everything else in the book.
