About this Event
Book spines often steal the spotlight—but what about the other three edges of a book? In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn how to transform the head, foot, and fore edge of a paperback into expressive works of art.
We’ll cover three approachable techniques to bring new life to your books: speckled edges, watercolor designs, and simple acrylic solids. You’ll also experiment with masking tape to create clean shapes and patterns, giving your books a unique personal touch.
This hands-on class is perfect for anyone curious about book edge painting, no experience needed. Along the way, you’ll learn how to prepare a book for edge decoration, explore the best materials to use, and discover what kinds of pigments and brushes work best on paper.
Please bring a 3-5 paperback books you'd like to decorate, either from your personal collection or pick up something new to beautify at The Well Red Damsel!
These techniques work best on standard, flat-cut paperbacks or notebooks.
Come ready to experiment and leave with some beautifully customized books!
