2011 Impress Workshop: 5 February 2011
Starbooks – The outcome of this workshop will be a completed Chinese Star book. We will be learning a new stitch for binding books as well as layering various papers, prints and cut-outs. There are several ways of using this particular book and the outcome can be unique and varied. You can experiment with a variety of papers including transparent, printed or textured, add pockets to display a unique collection, draw on your own set of skills for pop-outs, the list is endless. Bring your ideas and come prepared to construct a complete book.
