Family Bookmaking at the Julian Dixon Culver City Library!

By

It was wonderful to conduct a family bookmaking program at the Julian Dixon Culver City Branch Library, part of the Los Angeles County Library System!

Parents and children worked together to learn how to make and then create their own  accordion fold books with simple one and two cut popups, inspiring each other, as well as myself and the Library Staff as they moved through the process.

A simple post sharing about a simply lovely program I was privileged to lead at the Bell Library  one of the many fine Los Angeles County Libraries serving their patrons with devotion, commitment and love!

Parents, children and Library Staff participated. The wonderful Library provides programs every week, so if you are in their vicinity, please check them out and take advantage!

 


We had a beautiful creative group. Many participants knew each other, and had fun chatting during the program.

The younger brother in a family of four sibs, this young artist reveled in all of the materials, and the opportunity to create.


A beautiful soul creates a beautiful book, heartfelt.
