Family Studio: Slow Art Day

Join artist Jonna Twigg for an all-ages, communal book-binding workshop that fosters introspection and imagination, expression and action. By gathering paper, waxing thread, and stitching together materials, the quiet-but-active process of binding a book can be a way of fine-tuning our senses to the tactile world. The process calls attention to our need to find focus while at the same time revealing the enjoyment that comes from making something and experiencing the fullness of uncluttered time.

This workshop invites participants of all ages and abilities into an environment that allows them to be expressive and successful. Each person will have the opportunity to choose their covers and binding thread and work with hand tools to craft their book.
