Event Description
Step into the world of book arts and discover how ideas come to life
on the page! In this hands-on 2.5-hour workshop, Cadettes, Seniors,
and Ambassadors will explore the anatomy of a book, learn essential
tools and techniques, and craft their very own pocket-sized notebook
from start to finish.
Along the way girls will tap
into their creativity, build maker skills, and gain a new appreciation
for the art of storytelling.
During this workshop
we'll:
*Explore how books are built-from covers to binding to
page design
*Use real bookbinding tools to measure, fold, punch,
and assemble materials
*Experiment with creative techniques that
blend art, design, and function
*Learn how to upcycle and thrift
materials to add to inexpensive or common supplies to make your own
books with minimum up-front investment.
*Create a pocket-sized
handmade book to take home
No prior experience needed.
Bring your curiosity and creativity, we'll provide the rest!
