Book Making Workshops

 

  
 

Beginning Mini-Book Making Workshop (5 Hour version)

In this five hour workshop, Elena will show you how to create your very own mini-books. In the first hour, you’ll begin by painting paper that will later be folded, torn, woven, etc. to create book covers. In the following hours you'll make several paper books utilizing clever folding techniques. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have several nifty books or journals to keep or use as gifts. Elena will discuss options for incorporating found items into your work. Fun projects for using the books are suggested. No drawing or painting skills needed!


Supplies:
The emphasis will be on making books with inexpensive tools and recycled materials when possible. Pre-cut materials, paint, tools, such as scissors and glue sticks, will be provided free. However, you are welcome to bring your own scissors if you prefer. An instructional booklet will also be provided at no additional cost. This workshop promises to be a fun, creative way to incorporate your found/saved objects such as fiber scraps, pictures, stamps, cards, buttons, beads, charms, etc. into a book. So if you have any you’d like to use, bring them!
