Earth Week at SCRAP: Build-A-Book with Miles Epstein

Build your own book using high-quality repurposed materials!

Workshop Description

This workshop will help you design and build your own custom, sturdy and portable book so you can write that poetry, draw your cat, and clarify your thoughts.

Artist Miles Epstein will help you choose your paper, pick a cover, and build your book. We’ll brush up our razor knife skills and learn about several different binding strategies.

No experience necessary but comfort using sharp tools is helpful.
