In-Studio Class

​

Learn to create a unique little "book" that's more an art project than something to read! A flag book can include patterns, textures, words, or drawings that make people smile when the book is opened for display. It can have a theme or just be a joyful jumble of color and shapes.

Summer Program

​

Join us for a week of discovering where books come from and then learning how to grow a book of your own! We will be merging the outdoor and indoor classroom as we explore the trees in Baker Park and return to the studio with material to print with. Students will make paper, print with relief images, the sun, write poetry, and at the end of the week, each student will assemble and bind the pages they created into a book of their own.
