Book Arts Day for Girls at Printing Museum - Sat May 18, 2024

A full-day event giving girls age 10+ (and their moms if they register too!) to explore the creative world of the Book Arts. This is a not-to-miss experience at the Printing Museum! Advance registration is required; not open to the general public.

During Book Arts Day for Girls, which runs from 9 am to 3 pm, participants will rotate among 6 stations that explore the world of book arts, how books have been traditionally made in different cultures, and the modern artistic expression of books. Each participant will have a chance to grind pulp and make paper by hand, learn mechanical and artistic methods of bookbinding, screen print their own t-shirt, print letterpress keepsakes and cards on an antique press, and more! The day is filled with lots of hands-on activities and detailed presentations by industry experts and educators. The fee for the Girls Book Arts Day is $40 per participant and covers all of the activities. Girls can purchase lunch and snacks when they arrive for the event.

SPACE IS LIMITED. Our Girls Book Arts Days often fill up months in advance, please don't wait to register!
