A Visit to Wonderland: The Book Makers’ Studio
Five weeks of bookmaking with students aged 5-10. An incredible opportunity to witness and nurture creativity in action!
Taking an existing book and altering it.
Some students had no problem cutting right into the book…(a paperback)…and others were more hesitant.
Some students think of books primarily as a space for their many writing ideas….
and others are focused on the visual, enchanted my the material possibilities.
Giving new meaning to the term “Getting Your Ducks in a Row”…
And the story idea…: “A Bunny With Fairy Wings”
Re-purposing tags as flags in the flag book.
The purple tee-shirted bookmaking sistahs!
Concentration. Beginning to write after creating a glittering border.
Book End (table end) inspiration.
Handmade Portfolios using hanging file folders and shoelaces.
Portfolio, and the joy of glittery stickers.
Creating dimension with “pom-poms”.
Bead embellishment
Treasure hunting.
Our piece of heaven: the supplies table.
Sketch book…
Working in a single signature book. Why use one pencil when you can use three?!
Creating scrolls…an ancient book form. We added wooden dowels later.
Thank you for visiting our summer wonderland: The Book Makers’ Studio. You can always create your won…with whatever you have on hand to create with!
