Unleash Your Inner Book Artist (August 3 – August 7)

Description

Dive into the ancient and modern art of bookmaking. You’ll learn to hand-craft beautiful, custom books—perfect for use as journals, sketchbooks, photo albums, or unforgettable gifts. We’ll journey from ancient scrolls and classic codices to fun formats like accordion, pop-up, and star-shaped books. Explore the rich history of book art, get inspired by global traditions, and then design and bind your own unique creations. No experience is necessary! While you can fill your books with words or art, the focus is on mastering the physical structure and art of the bind!
