With guidance from illustrator and storyteller Jessica Harkey, middle and high school students (ages 12-17) can use a variety of materials to create pocket-sized books — ideal for short comics, stories, or poems — and leave with their own handmade books and the skills to create more on their own.
This workshop takes place at Central Library (660 W Fifth St. Winston-Salem, NC 27101). 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲; 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 ➔ visit.ncartmuseum.org/21990/21991

Jessica Robin Harkey is an illustrator of children’s picture books and an Artist Instructor at Sawtooth School for Visual Art. She is a firm believer in all things mythical, magical, and make-believe, from which she draws creative inspiration. Jessica fills each of her illustrations with as much whimsy, humor, and detail as possible so young readers can discover as many stories as they like. She hopes her work resonates with curious kids as well as kids at heart.

Presented in partnership with the Forsyth County Public Library, Art & Literacy is an artist-led program that brings hands-on artmaking to library branches in the Winston-Salem area. Each month, attendees can explore the intersection of visual art and literature through artist-led experiences in contemporary book art practice.
Art & Literacy celebrates the deep and lasting relationship between art and literature — books are not only vessels for stories and information, but also artistic objects shaped by material, structure, and design. Art & Literacy sessions are open to a variety of ages and skill levels and encourage curiosity, creativity, and connection through the art of the book. No prior experience is required.
