Discover the art of traditional Japanese book binding and take your creativity outdoors at Oglebay Gardens with our Artist in Residence Casey Miller! 🌿📖✏️Join us Saturday, May 30 from 10am–2:30pm for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own Japanese book‑bound zine and fill it with plein air graphite drawings inspired by the beauty of the gardens. We’ll explore mark‑making, composition, and visual storytelling as you build a personal sketchbook of on‑site observations.
✨ What to expect:
• Create a hand‑bound zine using traditional Japanese techniques
• Draw outdoors at Oglebay Gardens (weather permitting!)
• Learn mark‑making and composition approaches
• Leave with a completed, one‑of‑a‑kind sketchbook
🧰 Optional to bring: graphite pencils, thread of choice, awl, bone folder, or other favorite drawing tools.
🌞 Be prepared for outdoor drawing: hats, sunscreen, water, comfy shoes, and a portable chair.
