In the organizer's words:

DIY Book Club for Kids - 1
Make books yourself!

In this two-day workshop, we make books together - wild, funny, cheeky and beautiful!

A book doesn't always have to be thick and full of letters. We make books that are fun for you - from zines to comics to novels, anything is possible: small colorful booklets, notebooks or your own picture book. You can let off steam creatively and bring your own ideas or papers.

Together we will explore what a book can be and learn tricks on how to turn a single sheet of paper into a whole book.

We will work with patterned papers, found objects, fabrics, bright colors, colorful yarns and stamps. You can use these to design and bind your very own books. Of course you can take your books home with you at the end.
