Discover ways to re-use “good” books gone “bad” at a Re-Purposed Books Class 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, January 16, 2016.
At this class, learn how to make projects that show off your love of books and make use (or re-use) of their shape and format. Learn to use thrift shop books to create a variety of unique decorative and useful conversation pieces.
Projects include: a Classic Book-into-Portfolio Case; a Book Photo Frame (made from the patterned covers of old Reader’s Digest Condensed Books) plus a bonus horizontal book photo frame; a No-Sew Book Cover for your e-reader or netbook; and 3-D sculptural folded book wall hanging and desktop cardholders. You will go home with plenty of patterns and ideas!
The instructor, Lee Steiner, has been teaching herself and others hand papermaking and the book arts for more than a dozen years and has maintained her own art business and studio for eons.
