Altered Book Hour

In this informal mixed media workshop, learn about altered books and start your own with materials provided by your hosts - or bring your own existing book, and work on it with company!

An altered book is an artwork created by changing any existing printed book in some way. Frequently collaborative and often therapeutic to make, altered books can be made using almost any media to change your starting book. We'll provide you with plenty of collage materials and art supplies, but you can also bring along any materials you like to add to your book; your own photographs, paper collage, pens, and drawing materials. We will explore collaging, drawing, painting, and paper folding techniques to alter your book pages.
