Sat. July 25 from 1-4pm
A workshop for making a small, handmade record of this exact summer, structured in two parts: painting and binding.
The afternoon opens with a short story on books made this way, small and personal, holding fragments of a single season rather than a continuous narrative, attention to what's ordinary, held with care rather than urgency.
From there, small individual pages are painted and inked, each one a fragment of the summer, a memory, a color, a place. Quality watercolor paper, ink, and brushes are provided, along with a few objects and prompts to work from if a blank page needs a starting point.
Once the pages are ready, a simple Japanese stab-binding technique is taught and demonstrated, and each person binds their own pages into a small, keepsake book to take home.
Materials included. Light refreshments provided. Held indoors and on the deck, weather depending. No experience necessary.
