Saturday, February 11th
Barb Vee is offering this workshop
on Saturday, February 11, so that everyone can have an opportunity to create
their own artistic journal! In this workshop, participants will create
personalized covers, tear pages and bind them into artistic journals in which
they can record their personal experiences. Participants will create unique and
individual journals using a variety of techniques. Papers will be decorated to
cover recycled book board and pages will be bound with a coordinating choice of
colored linen threads so that the journals reflect everyone’s individual
artistic nature. Barb will demonstrate several techniques for decorating and
then participants will be set free to decorate paper which will ultimately
become the journal covers. A variety of papers can be torn to use for pages,
further individualizing journals. Journals will be bound using the Coptic
stitch, which is one of the oldest bookbinding stitches. This binding allows
the book to be laid open in a lay that easily allows creative journaling.
Experience using needles is helpful but not necessary. All supplies are
provided and lunch will be provided by The Coo.
