Space and materials are limited. Registration is required.
In this year's A Novel Idea selection, Murder by Degrees, the missing Anna Ward kept clues of how she felt and what she experienced through poetry phrases in her journal. It was her way of recording the world around her, and it proved a vital clue in the investigation of her disappearance. In this simple bookmaking class, participants will make their own poetry journals. We will create a folded book with one sheet of paper. Once assembled you will then decorate and write poetry phrases on the pages. Class is suitable for all skill levels.
Paper, colored pencils, and other writing implements will be provided. If you have a letter opener, please bring that. If you have favorite coloring pens/pencils and doodling markers, feel free to bring them to use.
