Treasure Book Workshop – 8 Weeks of Creative Exploration in Hamilton
Join us for a unique Hamilton art workshop where you’ll create your own personalised treasure book over eight inspiring weeks. In this hands-on Hamilton art workshop, you’ll choose your cover, select a variety of papers, and learn how to assemble and bind your book into a meaningful keepsake. Your finished treasure book may include mixed papers, pockets, embellishments, and spaces for writing or small collected items. Using the hardcover of an old book, you’ll learn how to sew blocks of pages (signatures) securely into your new creation.
