Are you a "jack of all trades" when it comes to art? If you like to paint, draw, collage, print, sew, and build, then join our bookmakers’ laboratory! First, we’ll explore and experiment with a variety of fun art techniques on paper. We'll also play with printing techniques to create your own amazing textures and beautiful one-of-a kind prints. Then, we’ll assemble our painted papers and prints into books. You'll learn saddle binding, Japanese stab binding, concertina and perfect binding, tunnel books and more. Take home several unique, expressive, and functional books that are artworks on their own, and can be used for journaling, writing stories, scrap-booking, or whatever you can dream up! If time permits, you can start filling a book with poems, original stories and illustrations, or your own art. This exciting week will be a variety-lover's dream, and a book lover’s paradise.

If you like to paint, draw, collage, print, sew and build then join our bookmakers’ laboratory. We’ll explore and experiment with a variety of fun art techniques on paper. We’ll then use our art papers to assemble our sketchbooks while learning a number of bookbinding styles in the process. You’ll gain skills you will use again and again. At the end of the two days you will take home several expressive, functional & fantastic books including a mini tunnel book. Your books can be left as artworks on their own, or can be used for journaling, writing stories, scrap-booking, or whatever you can dream up.
