About the Workshop:
This workshop will teach participants a new technique that incorporates a wide variety of materials, including but not limited to recycled paper, ribbon, candy wrapper foil, coins, strips of tree bark, seashells, etc. For this hands-on, eco-friendly project, participants are encouraged to experiment and use their own styles. The goal of the workshop is to allow the participants to think about the environment through creating their own book. Participants will be introduced to a new and enjoyable art-making activity, which may be shared with their families and friends.
