Remember when the Librarian would get cross with you for folding the corner of a book page to mark where you left off?

Now it is time to get even! Throw off the shackles of the bound printed word and be free of the Librarian tyranny. Now is the time to Up-cycle old books into works of art. Folding techniques are taught in this class, with additional methodologies and embellishments explored. Each student will be able to take their own Book Artwork home at the end of the day.

All necessary materials supplied.
