Alternative Book Art Structures (five sessions)
Adult Class | Registration opens Monday, October 20, 2025 8:00 AM EDT
Come learn some playful book structures in this class. We will be looking at books as artworks themselves. We will cover the basic hand skills of cutting, folding, and gluing various materials. We will also go over book anatomy, and sources for materials/tools. We will cover different structures from the intro class, but intro students are more than welcome!
