Altered Books

Transform a printed book into a one-of-a-kind work of art using cutting, painting, collage, stitching, and other creative techniques. See samples of altered books and learn a variety of methods to create your own. Use your book as a journal, a memory of a trip or person, or simply a space to explore your artistic ideas. You’ll walk away with a special and unique creation and potentially a new hobby! Papers, markers, pencils, and other supplies will be provided. Bring a hardcover book with stitched binding and any personal items you’d like to include, such as photos, letters, maps, or keepsakes.
