Altered Books Workshop
Saturday’s Altered Book Workshop at DCAD was an inspired & inspiring nudge of what happens when you create time and space for yourself- and making art. The workshop covered basic book structures and image transfers. These demos became a departure point for projects in every direction.

Each participant came with different experiences, resources, materials, images, tools, and a need to carve out some time to learn something new, be creative, and let go of outside responsibilities.

We altered books, inside and out.

and left feeling excited, energized…
and, for me- ready for a little nap.

February 1, 2013Hi! Oddly enough, I found this page while Googleing “Altered Book Workshop New Jersey.” I belong to a group of 10-or-so “crafty chicks,” as we call ourselves, that would definitely be interested if you were to have a workshop in Jersey. Please keep us Jersey girls posted! –Michelle
