Instructor, Erin Carney, Sleepy Hollow Artist

Thursday, May 20 and May 27 from 2 pm-4 pm

Participants in this two-session workshop will create one-of-a-kind, handmade books using the accordion fold technique. The first workshop will begin with a visual review of this binding style and a discussion of the expressive use of texture, mark, color, and text in handmade books. We will do a series of playful mark-making and brainstorming exercises to develop ideas before moving into book creation.

All materials are supplied. Participants are encouraged to bring any decorative papers, maps, watercolors, collage materials, and old or unfinished drawings that they wish to incorporate into their unique handmade book. Ribbon donations appreciated.

This workshop series is open to all levels and abilities.

The fee is $25. Limited to 12 residents.

Sign up with Lynn Brady.
