Springtime

Springtime Stitch Witchery at the Canoga Park Branch Library

March 15, 2024 By Debra Disman

We celebrated SPRINGTIME at the Canoga Park Branch Library by creating a sewn book, learning the pamphlet stitch and adding images, words, stickers, color, texture and joy to our books! Thank you to the wonderful Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs for their support of my artist residency at the Library: “We Write the Book!”.
