Be it medieval illuminated manuscripts or a Ming dynasty scroll; handmade books are meaningful works of art with a rich history. Dive into the wonderful world of bookmaking with this introductory level class where you will learn the vocabulary, history, and know-how of binding books. By the end of the class, you will have completed your own handmade book to take home!
Materials will be provided; however, patrons are encouraged to bring any scrapbooking paper, drawings, or paintings they wish to use for their book’s cover. Suitable for ages 16 and up.
