Hello eveyone,
This is a reminder about the book workshops I am running at Opendrawer in Hartwell and the papermaking workshop I am running for Papermakers of Victoria at Bundoora.
'Too Good to Write In' Workshop coming up January 21st at Opendrawer in Hartwell
Many people have said to me that they have a precious book that they have made or been given and it is too good to write in.
This workshop invites you to bring a blank book that you would like to start working in. Treat your blank book like an invitation. Enrich the pages, add colour, pattern and texture. As Dorothy Simpson Krause says, 'Your book will begin to sing, beguile, soothe and excite.' The complexity you add will make your pages richer. This workshop will teach you ways to add content to an already bound book. We will start working in the book, preparing the pages for added content. With guidance, you will be encouraged to cut windows in the pages, add colour and remove some pages to make way for other inclusions. Before you come, give some thought to how you might use your book. Will it be a travel journal, a recipe book, a daily journal, a book of wise words – your own or someone else's - or a book in which to record some of your family history.

MAPPING THE JOURNEY at Opendrawer
Book by Jan Miller
This class runs over three days: 10am to 4pm on Sat 22 & Sun 23 April, and Sun 6 May. Spend 3 days creating a beautiful concertina book with attractive additions: envelopes, small books and stitched pockets will be part of your final work.
This book can be a repository for memories of trips past or those just a dream, a companion for the journey. You will learn how to make your concertina journal and prepare a hard cover. You will be given many ideas for including your memorabilia. On the third day we will make a box or slip case to house your book.
The information about both workshops is here on the Opendrawer website where you can also book.

This workshop would also be suitable for papermakers who can make paper and want to extend their skills. At the end of the workshop you will have many sheets of beautiful paper to use as you wish.
