Saturday May 22, 1-4p fee: $20
Join librarian and book artist Jody for an afternoon learning to transform old book pages into bracelets, necklaces and earrings. During this workshop you will use book pages, elastic bottles, string and glue to create a variety of book page paper beads. You’ll be inspired to use the text on the pages to incorporate into you bead and jewelry work. You will also have some time to view Jody’s book arts and ask her how to questions. You will leave this workshop with paper beads, a bracelet and a necklace made from a chemistry glass vessel and old book pages!
