Participants will read and write poems and, using simple bookbinding techniques, leave the workshop with a small book of their musings.
This is designed as a 4-part workshop. Attendance is encouraged for all four parts to get the most out of the workshop experience, but all are invited to attend however many classes they are able to make.
Mondays 4-5pm (we will open the Studio early at 3:30pm for any students walking over from school):
May 12
May 19
May 26
June 2 (Prior attendance required for the final week as we will be creating our books)
This workshop series is free. Registration is encouraged: REGISTER HERE
Donations are graciously accepted to cover the cost of supplies.
