Here is the inaugural workshop at the Granada Hills Branch Library of the LAPL, kicking off my artist residency there: “We Write the Book“, supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Los Angeles.
For the Summer Reading Theme: “Reading Takes You Anywhere!” participants created a Travel Journal…an accordion book with pockets and sewn in pages.
Meet the bookmakers!

A Travel Journal will come in handy…
