Getting Ready for Valentines Day Workshop
Book/Paper Arts Workshop

February 7,
2:00PM – 4:30pm

Workshop by Kent Stewart

Join us for a book/paper arts workshop at Blue Ridge Books in Waynesville. Participants will have the opportunity to make TWO simply constructed projects, especially for Valentines Day. One will be a specially designed handmade Valentines blank book that can be used for a journal, a sketchbook, or a memo pad. The other will be a woven paper Valentine heart that can be used as a small gift for that special Valentine.

The construction of both will utilize simple tools and materials, all of which will be supplied. This is a workshop ideally suited to those who might not have made books or paper arts projects before. Simple measuring and some cutting with scissors is required.

Some special, Valentine appropriate, materials will be furnished so that you can decorate the book for that special someone as a Valentines gift. If you have beads, buttons, small fabric remnants, photographs, or the like of your own, please bring them to the workshop. They might be used to embellish and personalize your book.

If you’ve always wanted to make a book or a paper Valentine heart, please call to sign up to attend the workshop at Blue Ridge Books. (828-456-6000) The cost to participate will be $ 8.00, payable IN CASH on the day of the workshop.

In the event of inclement weather, please call Blue Ridge Books at 828-456-6000 for information.
