Learn How to Create the Fun and Fantastic Flag Book at the West Hollywood Library!!

A Free Workshop produced by Friends of the West Hollywood Library

Join us to  “Create the Fun and Fantastic Flag Book” where participants will learn how to make a unique fold-out book featuring flag-shaped pages that move and groove when the book is opened and closed.

The workshop will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 10:00 – 12:30 p.m.

Held at the West Hollywood Library’s Community Room, this free workshop will be facilitated by Debra Disman, a Los Angeles-based teaching artist known for her work inspired by books. Debra’s work can be seen in galleries, museums, libraries and art centers across the country.

Through learning hands-on techniques in visual arts & crafts, participants will be able to design their own personal one-of-a-kind flag book. All materials will be provided, and free parking is available.

This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Friends of the West Hollywood Library, a 501c (3) nonprofit, committed to the promotion and enhancement of the West Hollywood Library‘s collections, facilities and programs. Friends also operates the Friends Bookstore, located adjacent to the West Hollywood Library at 625 N. San Vicente Boulevard, selling gently used books & films, with proceeds benefiting the West Hollywood Library.
