Groundworks Art Lab

 Do you have a super cool tie from the back of your Grandpa's closet with a cool funky design? You can make that silk tie into a beautiful handmade book! Join Brenda Gallagher to transform the fabric from your old tie into a paper backed book cloth that can be used to cover boards of your own hand sewn blank journal. You can bring your own tie or choose one of the dozens of ties from Brenda's collection to cover your book. We'll begin making ties into bookcloth, then we'll proceed to cover our book boards with the tie bookcloth to make a case. The blank book for the inside of our book will be hand sewn and include colorful endpapers and matching endbands. Come spend the day learning beginning case bound book binding skills that show off your Grandpa tie flair.

Ages: 16+
