Join us for an evening of writing and book craft with exhibition writer Genevieve Kaplan!
About this Event


You’ll learn to make a mini-book, a deceptively simple structure folded out of a single sheet of paper. We’ll explore a few variations of the form, and experiment with adding written content to our mini-books in engaging, evocative ways. Feel free to bring a paragraph or short poem to use as the basis of your explorations during the workshop. You'll leave the workshop with at least one complete mini-book to take home.


All materials, refreshments and light snacks included. Beer provided by proud business partners, Claremont Craft Ales.


This is a 21+ event.
