Make a Journal out of Recycled Material
September 14th 2013

We will reproduce a classic hard cover journal, a sturdy thread-bound book perfect for jotting notes down or sketching in.  Students will choose between the pocket size 3.5x5.5 and the large 5x8.25, learning the construction of the book from beginning to end.  We will work with repurposed material, making our book as sustainable as possible.


Make your own Stickers!
October 19th 2013
1:00-2:00
$10.00
Ever wanted to get a message across and didn’t know how.  Well this class is for you.  Make your own message on a repurposed sticker.   I collect sticky paper, left over labels, packaging stickers and other sticky odds and ends, transform them into my own completely original stickers with a little paint and letraset letters.  The discarded sticker paper is sized and primed, all ready to receive your message.  Letraset is a dry rub transfer popular before computers became widespread, mainly used in architectural and product design projects.  Learn how to say anything that pops up in your head by burnishing the letraset on to the sticker paper.  Make as many as you can in an hour.  Anyone can do it and is fun for everyone.
