Originating in the 15th century, Cadels are beautifully dec-orated letters that are a delight to the eye yet deceptively simple to create. In this evening program, we will look at samples of both historic and contemporary Cadels. Next, we will have a chance to learn some basic patterns. From this exercise we see how to use a base letter and transform it into a Cadel.

March 21 Meeting: Cathy Shiovitz with Collage Compositions

Join Cathy in recycling old practice sheets, painted papers and other materials in creating a new artwork while exploring the fundamentals of design. It can be a simple or complicated treasure hunt to find the right piece for a spot.

Start collecting a selection of old practice pa-pers (ones with bolder writing are best); maga-zine scraps (especially black and white); paint-ed papers, tissue, old letters or photos, maps to use.
