In this workshop, the participants will focus on their family stories and related personal experiences. They will serve as the basis for the individual book making. Participants are asked to bring photocopies of personal pictures, images or belongings (heirlooms, jewelry, books). All participants will leave the workshop with a unique book. Participants will be provided with bookmaking tools; however, you are welcome to bring your own threading or decorative materials if you like.
Please note that you will cut and collage the copies. Please do not bring originals.
