First, and most importantly, let me know what theme you want to use: family, pets, flowers, children, boxing (?), heritage, women, your spouse, spring, no particular theme or anything else you’d like, so I can bring the proper papers and images. Think of images you can bring, like photos, or magazine pictures, etc..

Make copies of old letters, photos, etc. Don't bring originals unless you want to use them 'up' or I can make copies at home of anything you need. You can also bring ribbons, memorabilia or flat items you’d like to use on the pages.

Please feel free to email me to ask me any questions or information you need before we start the workshop (after you apply) . Remember to bring some small sharp scissors if you have them. I can provide a couple if you don’t, but I don’t have enough for the entire class.

To save time, please cut out the pertinent images so you don’t have to go through the magazines during the class.

1st Day - We’ll be collage-ing the box today and planning the contents of the book.
Bring any kind of text or papers we can use to decorate the box itself.
Save special things for the book. We’ll talk about anything you need for the book itself.
If time permits, we will begin the making of the accordion book.

2nd to 4th Days: - The exciting work will begin, the making and embellishing the book
book book until we have a finished work of art, an Artist’s Book.


More workshops soon!
