Curious kids ages 7 to 12 will learn the basics of books during this fun, one-day workshop celebrating the art and craft of making books.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to create a limited edition of about 10 small linoleum prints inspired by the gardens and landscapes of Locust Grove with Nick Baute of Hound Dog Press, assemble a small notebook popular in the 17th and 18th centuries with bookbinder Brandon Vigliarolo, and will work on writing and illustration with Locust Grove volunteers.
Price is $40.00 or $35.00 for Locust Grove members; all materials are included. Workshop participants should come prepared with some floral and landscape imagery to consider for printmaking. Participants should bring a sack lunch.
A parent or guardian must stay on site for the duration of the workshop. Adults are welcome to assist their child with all activities.
Space is limited; call 502-897-9845 to register by July 5.
