Altered Books

/in /by

Join Naomi and create your very own altered book!

Altered books are the perfect way to dive into creativity and develop your ability to express yourself personally. We will incorporate painting, text, and found objects and integrate them to create amazing pieces that are meaningful and personal. If there are objects, photos, or specific things you would like to incorporate, bring it along! Old paintings are great to bring along as well.

All materials provided.

This class is a drop-in class: free to members and $20 for non-members.
