book arts 18+
instructed by molly nelko
Book design is something that is largely forgotten today, it is a craft often taken for granted. It involves methods and rules that have been developed over centuries.
​
This class consists of a series of four classes in November, each building on the last. We will work on exercises and follow steps to make our own handmade book.
​
This course is designed for beginners. Your registration covers all four sessions. Come explore all this wonderful craft has to offer.
This class is $50 a person, all supplies are included.
This class is limited to participants 18 & up.
​
There is a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 10. If the minimum is not met, participants will be refunded.
This class will be located in the newly available Studio 2 which is located behind Rusty the big red dog on our campus. Look for the blue double doors in the Courtyard of Wonders!
