"Art Books" from Scratch

Come join us at Plaza Art – Rockville with artist Dana Zatman for six fun sessions creating your own handmade art book.

Artist Dana Zatman is known for her handmade "art books" filled with pages upon pages of art. In this class, you will learn from her how to create and bind your own "artbook" with watercolor paper and repurposed papers. One page can be meticulous and the next can be total chaos! Using paints, markers, pencils, pens and even more paper, you will fill the book. Your end result will be gratifying and you'll leave wanting to make more books! No experience needed, and all skill levels are welcome.
