Altered Books

A creative workshop led by instructor Ann Bausman where you'll learn to use found materials to make a unique craft! 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. The Kaffestugan will be open: pastries, open face sandwiches, and coffee will be available for purchase. Saturday, November 21st | 12pm - 3pm | $50, $40 for members | please bring a hardcover book | webpage Instructor Ann Bausman has a passion for upcycling textiles, linens, books and more. She is excited to show others ways in which they can create a personal, one-of-a-kind book to keep or share with others.
