Chapbooks can be scrappy & hand sewn or sleek with an ISBN. In this workshop, you’ll sew pages of your writing (or your favorites) into a simple binding with French flaps, and then add ephemera (think photographs, keepsakes, drawings, scraps of precious things) to create a one-of-a-kind object that combines your voice with your creative vision. These art objects are a perfect map of your creativity or a unique gift. Materials fee includes handmade papers, bookbinding materials, and a selection of collage/ephemera materials to choose from.
