Old Books, New Meanings
Join us for a creative, reflective evening where old books become the foundation for new expression. In this mixed media art workshop, we’ll transform discarded books into textured art pieces using words, shapes, imagery, collage, and intuitive creativity. The sleeve and pages of each book will become your canvas as we layer meaning, emotion, and imagination onto the pages.
No art experience needed. This workshop is about slowing down, exploring creativity, and creating something personal in a relaxed, supportive space. All materials provided.
You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece and a gentle reminder that even old stories can become something new.
