January Book Art Workshop with Flourish + Fern at Black Rock Books
Combining collage, book art, and mixed media play, this altered books workshop series offers a creative journey guided by local artist, Lauren Smith of Flourish + Fern—book lover, plant-mom and thrifting enthusiast.
Looking for a new eco-friendly creative hobby that incorporates your love of repurposing/upcycling?! Look no further and save things from the landfill while you learn how to create artistic masterpieces out of found objects. Students have the option to sign up for a single class or the three-part series. Time to put that old “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” mantra into action, and get in the creative flow while doing it!
In this workshop series, you’ll utilize basic skills like cutting, gluing, inking, and painting to breathe new creative life into old texts. From selecting the perfect book to sourcing materials and preparing pages, this series will guide you through everything you need to know to get started with book altering.
