Miniature Books Bookbinding Workshop
Join Gerald Ward (Bibliopathologist) for a fun and engaging dive into the enchanting world of miniature books! This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the charming and intricate process of crafting tiny book structures. Perfect as unique gifts, delightful decorations, or personal keepsakes, miniature books blend the artistry of traditional bookbinding with the whimsy of small-scale design.
No experience is necessary, and all tools and materials will be provided. Whether you’re an experienced bookbinder or a curious beginner, you’ll leave with the skills, techniques, and inspiration to start your own miniature book collection.
If you have any accessibility questions or accommodation needs, please contact us at Maker_STEAM@dconc.gov. We ask that all requests be made at least 3 business days prior to the event to ensure we can provide the best accommodations possible!
