Tiny Wearable Books Workshop with Valeria Kremser

Books have been worn for hundreds of years. Come make two tiny blank book necklaces or a pair of earrings and learn some tricks for working small.

Students should bring bookbinding tools if they have them – bone folder, sewing needle, scissors. Tools will be provided to those without. All other supplies will be provided. If you need some nourishment during that time, bring it with you.
