LACMA in NoHo: Exploring Bookmaking at the Valley Plaza Library I
We Write The Book
In October 2017 we had a blast making Flag Books at the Valley Plaza Branch Library, in North Hollywood (NoHo).
The stars of the program were mothers, daughters, girls and women.
YEAH! Girl Power!
…and a beautiful couple too…both artists.
Pink Power.
A fitting conclusion!

“Let’s Make Books” at LACMA
It has been wonderful to teach a family bookmaking class: “Let’s Make Books” for ages 5 and up at LACMA (The Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
Parents can attend with their children, and spend three hours visiting and drawing in LACMA’s galleries, grounds and gardens, walking through its architecture, and learning about its collection, before returning to one of the LACMA Art Studios to work together on art projects related to what has been visited and viewed. A total experience of art immersion!
In this class thus far we have made accordion books with pop-ups, “folded fan” books with “windows and doors”, flag books, and tunnel books. A grand time has been had by all, including myself. It is wonderful to work with families, see parents and siblings interacting, and the grown-ups getting a creative break which hopefully will refresh and rejuvenate them when they leave LACMA, and return to their daily lives.

The tunnel book can fold up, stand up, and stretch.

In process…
A colorful collection of magnificent tunnel books!
The creative endeavor of our kindly assistant…who played imaginatively with the tunnel book structure!
Kindness, creativity, imagination, play…these are the hallmarks of our program, and were in abundance during our class. Hurray for LACMA!
We have a bookmaking class for children aged 10-13 starting in early April…check it out! We would love to have your children in our class…making art together.
Doors closed….
