In this live digital workshop, participants will use found and reused materials from their own home to make a sketchbook or notebook using a sewn binding method. The focus will be primarily repurposing common household items and materials into something new and useful.
The workshop will be led via Zoom by our very own Annie Leue, Art Director of Design and Marketing at the museum and an avid bookmaker. Tune in live to receive personalized instruction and have the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback.
