Family Bookmaking

Join us to Make Books at the Canoga Park Branch Library!

December 4, 2023 By Debra Disman

Join us to create a beautiful and fun holiday book based on the closed spine accordion structure!

Learn the accordion fold, add covers and “close” the spine so that the book can both open in pages, or extend into a sculptural form.

This workshop is part of my Artist residency: “We Write the Book”, held at the Canoga Park Branch Library, supported by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs!

Join Us!

Visioning the New Year with the Panorama Branch Library

January 6, 2022 By Debra Disman

In December, 2021, we completed our  2021-22 Artist Residency in bookmaking  at the the Panorama City Branch Library, supported by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

I say “we” rather than “I”, as this was a team effort with the Library Staff, and of course, the DCA, always supportive!

During our residency “CULMINATION EVENT” participants created “Vision Journals” to welcome the New Year, and help them set intentions and goals for 2022.

Our online event was well-attended, fun and inspiring.
A wonderful way to complete the Residency, the year, and gather our strength, resiliency, hope, imagination and creativity to move into 2022!
