ALTERED BOOK
BOTANICAL JOURNALS

Explore a variety of possibilities for creating a botanically-inspired altered book garden journal. We’ll choose color palettes, work with a range of materials, and cut, fold, collage, draw, and paint onto and into the covers and pages of our chosen books. Participants should bring at least one book to alter. Feel free to bring any images or materials to cut and add along with favorite media or cutting tools.
