Express your creativity through book arts
With no end to the creative applications, the Book Arts Program allows anyone to be as poetic and visually daring as they desire.
"Making a book that tells a personal story has tremendous autobiographical possibilities," said Marnie Powers-Torrey, director of the program.
According to Powers-Torrey, the program gives participants an opportunity to preserve and collect genealogical details, a means by which to delve into spiritual or philosophical concepts and beliefs, or a chance to create something beautiful from an experience.
Book artist Julie Leonard's intensive workshop, "Binding Structure and Story," taught from June 13-16 in the Marriott Library, first floor, is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in this briskly growing art form.
