This two-day workshop, led by local author and artist Elizabeth Creith covers the foundational aspects of bookmaking and paper arts. From selecting materials, using tools, practising techniques, choosing content and adding decoration, Elizabeth will guide participants on a journey to produce their own handmade books and paper crafts!

Participants will be given the opportunity to see what they can produce with bookmaking skills, such as cards, albums, journals, archive books, notebooks, mementos and more. We will also explore how to create different styles of books, including a folded book, accordion book, lotus book, star book and others.

This workshop is suitable for ages 10 and up. If you have any questions about who is eligible to participate, please feel free to email us at music@algomatrad.ca

The workshop will run 10:00 am to 4:00 pm including a lunch break on Tuesday, July 23 and Thursday, July 25, at the AlgomaTrad Centre, 1249 F&G Line Rd., St. Joseph Island.
