Grad publishes Art Book

Graphic Design graduate Charles Van Sandwyk,
who became something of a celebrity on campus
when he won the ACCC’s National Art Competition
last year, is featured in the October edition of
Western Living Magazine. Van Sandwyk’s winning
entry was an art book, which he has just published in
a limited edition, entitled “A Selection of Neighbourly
Birds”. To quote from the magazine:

“Using intaglio plates, he has created nine etchings
for each of the 100 copies, painted them by hand
with watercolours, worked with Denise Carson Wilde
at Vancouver's Winter Lily Press to design and
handset the type, printed it on carefully selected,
cream-coloured printmaking paper, bound it in white
linen with his own hand-painted, marbled end
papers, and is now (personally) selling the book
worldwide for $280 a copy. Most have been spoken
for.”

Capilano College will be receiving one of the copies,
but if you are personally interested in obtaining one
you could call him at 929-1908.

Teaching ona
cruise ship

In May and June of this
year David Maclagan
(instructor in Graphic
Design and Illustration)
and Harry Heine (well
known watercolourist),
through our Extension
Programs, joined a very
eminent list of guest
lecturers (i.e. Oxford,
Cambridge and the
British Museum) to
instruct a one month
Watercolour Painting
Program on the Swan
Hellenic cruise ship
“Orpheus.” They visited
and painted in Israel,
Yugoslavia, Greece,
Cyprus, Italy and
Turkey. An extensive
showing of their work
from this trip will be
opening at the Harrison
Galleries on south Granville on Wednesday, October
28 at 6:30, and running for the week following.
Anyone wishing to attend the opening should contact
the Gallery or David at local 2071, as invitations are
required. A couple of the larger works will also be
up for a “sneak preview” during the North Shore
Forum on the Arts to be hosted here on October 17.

This year’s trip followed Maclagan and Heine’s 1986
watercolour painting tour of Florence and Tuscany.
What are they planning for 1988? Rumours say
Drawing and Painting in Portugal—ask them for
details. (Above: A Maclagan painting of a street in
Rhodes, Greece.)

Too bad if you missed it

Approximately one hundred faculty, staff and

Chester, Suzanne Clouthier, Sharon Feyer, Leslie
Gillis, Lynne Hamilton, Jeri Krogseth, Ethelyn
Mcinnes-Rankin, Anne Moye, Donna Savage and
Robert Turner.
