We'll transform vintage books into unique art journals using collage, found poetry, layered imagery, and mixed media techniques. Think vintage paper, surprising combinations, hidden messages, and creative discoveries you never planned. This is part art workshop, part crafting party, and part chance to meet other creative people in a casual brewery setting. What's included with your ticket? • A vintage book to transform • Shared collage papers and mixed media materials • Glue and basic crafting supplies • A live demonstration of altered book techniques • Guided instruction and creative inspiration • Two hours of making art in a relaxed, social environment Who is this for? Everyone over 21 (We are at a brewery, lol) ! No previous art experience is needed. Come if you love collage, journaling, vintage books, paper crafts, or simply want to try something different on a Monday evening. You don't need to be an artist. Curiosity is enough. Do I need to finish my book during the workshop? Not at all! Altered books often develop over time. You'll learn techniques, begin creating your own piece, and take your book home to continue working on it at your own pace. What should I bring? Just yourself and your imagination. All basic workshop supplies are included. You're welcome to bring personal collage materials or meaningful paper scraps if you'd like to incorporate them into your project.
