Altered Book Workshop #2

Altered books are books that have been creatively transformed from their original form into unique works of art. The process involves altering the pages, covers, or entire structure of the book, typically by adding, removing, or manipulating parts of it to create a new visual or conceptual expression. 

In this Workshop we will focus on creating a basic altered book with pockets and adding a variety of foldouts, bellybands, and embellishments. 

This class is geared towards adults and will be held on

Saturday, April 5 and 12 from 9:00 - 12:00 PM, at Eclectic Shoppe 14 W. Branson St. La Fontaine, IN 46940

All the supplies will be provided. 

This class is $35.00. 

1. Cutting and Collaging: Pages may be cut out or shaped, and collages can be added using other materials, pictures, or text.
2. Painting and Drawing: Artists may paint, draw, or doodle directly on the pages or covers to create new themes or visual interest.
3. Stamping and Stenciling: Using rubber stamps, stencils, and other tools to imprint new images, text, or patterns.
4. Layering: Adding layers of paper, fabric, or other materials to the pages, often to create texture and dimension.
5. Interactive Elements: Some altered books include pockets, fold-outs, or other interactive components that invite the viewer to engage with the book physically.
6. Mixed Media: The books might incorporate things like fabric, found objects, and other unexpected materials.
