The process of collage presents endless possibilities in book construction. On the first day of this two-day class, we will incorporate metallic paper, other cut and torn papers, and ink to result in collage enclosures for five signatures of folded sheets.

On day two, we will sew five collage-enclosed signatures with a basket-weave spine stitch adding beads, decorative yarns, and jewelry findings to embellish.

Each participant will have access to a variety of patterned fibrous papers. Pens, inks, acrylics, and colored pencils will be shared.

These one-of-a-kind books are great as sketchbooks, journals, art journals, special occasion recordings, or gifts. Adventures await - BEGINNERS WELCOME!

This class seats 8 students
