SUMMARY:Rail Writers Family Ride
DESCRIPTION:All aboard! Rail Writers\, The Writer’s Garret’s favorite summer program\, takes to the DART light rail for a 4 hour family excursion of writing\, sharing\, and exploration. Families will meet with a Garret teaching artist at Tyler St. Station\, board the light rail and journey into the heart of the Arts District to explore. Guided by their teaching artists\, writers young and old will reflect on what they experience\, and then be encouraged to share. After lunch at Klyde Warren Park\, everyone will re-board the light rail and return back to Tyler St. Station. \nRail Writers moves (literally!)\, so all participants should plan to wear footwear that is comfortable and will allow boarding and exiting the light rail\, and a moderate amount of walking on paved surfaces. \nBecause Rail Writers is intended as a family activity\, all parties must include at least 1 adult and 1 child. Due to group size limitations\, parties may not exceed 4 people total\, regardless of age. Rail Writers is designed to best engage young writers in grades 4-8. \nRail Writers is a free program (The Writer’s Garret covers DART passes and supplies) but the cost of lunch is not included. Access to food trucks will be available at Klyde Warren Park\, or families may elect to pack a lunch.

SUMMARY:Anatomy of a Book\, or Deconstruct & Reconstruct the Most Important Human Invention of All Time
DESCRIPTION:The book is\, arguably\, the most important human invention of all time (so much so we put it in the title of this workshop). On Saturday May 13th\, join Oil & Cotton’s Shannon Driscoll and The Garret’s Teaching Artist in Residence Lisa Huffaker–whose collaboration began in 2012\, when they designed and taught ambitious workshops for teens and preteens\, combining writing\, art\, and bookmaking into a dynamic Zine Camp (garnering a Best of Dallas award from the Dallas Observer)–for an afternoon exploring and meditating on this singular\, species-defining object. \nDissect vintage volumes\, and learn about the amazing history and structure of this object we call the book. Reconstruct the dissected parts into one-of-a-kind artist’s books\, to anchor that history in material form. Each participant will leave with a unique artist’s book built from the pages of old books\, as well as samples of materials (Papyrus! Vellum! Linen thread waxed with beeswax!) important to the history of books. Participants will also leave this workshop with the ability to build their own books\, and share the astonishing (but often overlooked) history and nature of this familiar\, yet world-changing object. \n  \nShannnon Driscoll (Oil & Cotton) received her Masters Degree from the Kilgarlin Center for the Preservation of the Cultural Record at the University of Texas at Austin\, where she studied book and paper conservation. She continued conservation training through internships and professional experience while at the Northeast Document Conservation Center\, Andover; Walters Art Museum\, Baltimore;  Widener Library\, Harvard College Libraries\, Cambridge\, the Pinos Y Serriera Archives\, Vilassar de Dalt\, Spain before opening a private conservation practice in Dallas. Twelve years ago she stepped away from conservation to create Oil and Cotton\, a creative space for art education\, exhibition\, performance and exchange between the public and the art community in Dallas\, Texas. Oil and Cotton offers workshops and classes ranging from painting to fiber based arts taught by artists from Texas and beyond. \n  \nLisa Huffaker creates poetry\, collage\, assemblage\, artist’s books\, and many combinations of these. Her poetry appears in Diode\, THRUSH\, Michigan Quarterly Review\, CTRL+V\, 32 Poems\, DIAGRAM\, Cincinnati Review\, Phoebe\, and many other publications. Her art has lately been seen at Bath House Cultural Center and Ro2 Art. She was recently a finalist for Dallas Poet Laureate\, and leads community writing projects as the Writer’s Garret’s Teaching Artist in Residence. She has taught text-and-image projects at the Dallas Museum of Art\, Nasher Sculpture Center\, and The Dallas Contemporary. Her award-winning project\, White Rock Zine Machine\, offers tiny books of poetry and art through sculptural vending machines. She is currently working on a book of visual poetry\, transforming a anti-feminist “self help” book from 1963 through collage and poetic erasure. The manuscript-in-progress was exhibited internationally as part of TU Delft and Cornell Tech’s 3rd Workshop on Obfuscation. \nOil and Cotton is an art studio and artist supply shop located near downtown Dallas. We provide classes and workshops for people of all ages and skill levels. Our hands-on classes are taught by professionals with knowledge ranging from traditional craft to contemporary art practices. We provide creative space for education\, exhibition\, performance and exchange between the public and the art community. \n

SUMMARY:Common Language Project: Networks Reading
DESCRIPTION:This year\, we invite you to connect into networks\, analog and digital\, microscopic and macro-engineered. From the cells in our bodies to the smart phones in our hands\, networks fill our lives with meaning\, richness and beauty. Chain letters and congregations share secrets; the weave of textiles can bear witness to the tapestries of our families. Show us the truths of fractals\, find the hidden meanings of street maps\, trace the untold stories of spiderwebs.  \nAfter a record-setting number of entries\, we’re thrilled to bring you poems from this year’s Common Language Project: Networks poetry contest. Join us to hear the poems read by the poets who composed them\, lifting the language from the page and into the shared space of Turner House’s ballroom.
