Art Under the Bridge: Make Your Own Lay-Flat Book

Learn how to make your own hand-bound books with educators, as part of our Art Under the Bridge series. We will make collage covers using preserved leaves and then learn to bind our books with a coptic stitch that allows them to lay flat, perfect for sketching or journaling. No previous experience necessary. This workshop is best suited for ages 13 and up. The workshop requires some manual dexterity to thread and pull a sewing needle through cardboard. We will be using sharp tools, and all participants will need to sign a legal waiver. The event is first-come, first-serve with 25 spots available. Advanced registration is encouraged but not required. Register Now! Accessibility Note: Please reach out to education@bbp.nyc for any accessibility needs or questions. The workshop will take place at the Environmental Education Center at 99 Plymouth Street, which is a fully accessible building. The classroom itself has a low-pile carpet. Seating is on stools. There is regular muted noise from trains above. Bathrooms with accessible stalls are available in the building.
