$200 for tour, lesson, and materials for 35 books
Dive into the world of book arts with a virtual tour of MCBA’s studios, a video lesson on book arts and the parts of a book, and a video workshop on how to make a hardcover book!
This book project involves both sewn and tape binding, and the final product can be used as a hardcover journal or sketchbook perfect for class notes, stories, and more. You can pick up a class set of bookmaking materials in advance of viewing the workshop. In addition to the included materials, each participant will need to have on hand: 2a pencils, a glue stick, 4 paper clips, a thumbtack, an embroidery needle, a bone folder or bone folder alternative (a ruler, spoon, popsicle stick, etc.), waste sheets (like old magazine pages or scrap paper), and a kitchen sponge (optional). These tools can be included for an additional $15/participant, but have been excluded here to keep the base price of the workshop lower. *This project is perfect for Girl Scouts completing the Cadette Book Artist Badge!
