TUNNEL BOOK
Halloween Tunnel Bookmaking at the Canoga Park Branch Library
Book arts are alive and well at the Canoga Park Branch Library!
I am thrilled to continue my artist residency there, working with the community, teaching all manner of how-to bookmaking workshops, or “programs” in library parlance!
The series, entitled “We Write the Book”, supported by the wonderful Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, will offer 11 hands-on bookmaking workshops and a culmination event to the community free of charge, with all materials included!
Participants from children to teens to families to seniors learned how to create the three-dimensional Tunnel Book structure, creating their own Halloween scenes and more, combining theater, books, stories and celebration into their movable dramas!
Create A Spooky Drama for Halloween at the Canoga Park Branch Library!!!!!
Learn to create a tunnel book and make a three-dimensional scene for Halloween inspired by the holiday and your own imagination!
