Maker extraordinaire, COURTNEY CERRUTI (ccerruti.com) teaches at the San Francisco Center for the Book, and online at Creativebug.com. She studied painting at UC Santa Cruz and the University of Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France where she had her first exhibition and hosted many book making parties. In addition to teaching, Courtney is a freelance artist and avid instagrammer and pinner (on pineterest). In a previous life she did windows and display at Anthropologie as well as teaching and working at Paper Source. She makes something everyday and works mostly doing windows, wedding installations and set design. She is the author of Quarry's forthcoming Playing with Image Transfers. About washi tape she says: "I'm obsessed with washi tape. It's funny that you may never have heard of it, because once I discovered it, I couldn't stop using it, and now it pops up in almost all of my work. I'm a self-proclaimed converter. If you take any one of my workshops, you will use washi tape and then you'll go directly to the nearest store and buy it! It's that awesome.
