Time and Place: Poetry and Bookmaking Workshop for Teens

Participants will combine poetry and drawing to create their own handmade books. We’ll explore simple bookbinding techniques, using stitching and folding to assemble personalized booklets to be filled with memories. Books will include drawings and free-verse poetry. The drawings will have a focus on linework, emphasizing confidence of line and contour drawing. There will be creative writing exercises focused on sensory descriptions of familiar spaces. The focus is on creative expression and blending words with visual art in a fun, low-pressure environment. This workshop is specifically for teenagers.

This workshop is for ages 13-18. Parents, please sign up your teens. Please do not sign up if your child doesn't fall between the ages of 13-18.

There is an additional version of this workshop designed for families happening Sept 6th. Sign up for that here.
