About this Event
NOTE:
Session One: April 4 from 10 AM to 12 PM
Session Two: April 11 from 10 AM to12 PM
Learn two complementary folk arts in one great project. Over two sessions, you will create a one-of-a-kind, 48-page handmade journal that reflects both the natural world and your own creative expression.
Your journal cover will be crafted from thick watercolour paper transformed through the art of ecoprinting—using botanicals to create rich, organic impressions—resulting in a soft, velvety, leather-like wrap. Inside, your pages will be enhanced with a variety of mark-making techniques before being hand-bound using a traditional Coptic stitch.
All materials are provided, including papers, botanicals, stamps, stencils, inks, paints, silk ties, embroidery thread, alum baths, and gloves.
Cost: $165
