This beautiful, three-dimensional book is sure to capture the imagination! Don’t let this book’s appearance fool you – it’s much easier to create than it looks.
In this workshop, participants will create a star book made from layers of paper and collage materials. The book opens up completely to form a star shape when the covers are held back-to-back. You can use the attached ribbon ties to secure the book when open or closed.
In this workshop, each participant will leave class with a completed book and a basic knowledge of bookbinding technique. You will receive a detailed handout and resource list for all materials we use. No previous experience required – this is a great class for all skill levels. Non-artists, teachers, photographers, and all creative types are welcome!

All materials are included in the workshop fee, but feel free to bring materials for use in creating a theme/concept for the book.
Some ideas:
Collage materials – small bits of handmade paper, fabric, fibers, etc.
Photographs
Rubber stamps and pads
Markers, pens, colored pencils, etc.
Decorative scissors/punches

This workshop will have you gluing, cutting, painting and tearing up old books to create 3 dimensional works of art.We will break all rules set into place by librarians and school teachers who told you books were meant to be kept on shelves. This class will offer you a space to freely develop your own personal narrative with found objects; transforming ordinary pages of text into something mythical and profound, using something as simple as an old book as your base. We will bravely enter into creative new territories in this process oriented class.

If you'd like to see what these wonderful pieces of art look like, feel free to come into the store, we have two samples here at Artists' Mediums Inc.
Materials List available upon sign up.
