Books & Brews: Book Swap and DIY Bookmarks

Bring a book (or several!) to swap. We’ll have supplies to paint and craft your own bookmarks while you enjoy Baerlic beverages (available for purchase) and browse books as they arrive. Stop in for as long as you like between 6-8p; no rules on how many books you can bring or take, just be courteous of other swappers! $5 fee to cover crafting supplies. Learn more about your host, local illustrator Amy Wike, on instagram @‌amy_wike or her website at https://www.amywikeillustration.com/

We'll provide the following crafting supplies. Color in a bookmark from our premade selection, or create your own masterpiece using the following materials:

• Bookmark templates on watercolor paper to color in or paint
• Blank paper
• Markers
• Watercolor paint and brushes
• Collage materials
• Ribbon

This is a Portland Book Festival Cover to Cover event.
