Happy New Year

Hi the January meeting is on 3rd at 7.00pm and the session will be led by member Toni Stanford.

"FOLLOW A WORD"

Handmade and altered books can make lovely presents, for a small child, a special occasion, or as a way of preserving special mementoes.  They can also be a powerful design aid when you have lots of ideas around a subject but no idea of where to go next. Tonight we will use the simple methods of cutting, folding, sticking and sewing to travel through a book.

Toni will bring some books for you to try out the exercises on, but you can also bring your own book for altering...

you will need:
paper scissors
sewing needle
ruler and pencil

if you have them you can also bring:
hole punch - plain and/or fancy
ONE sheet of used christmas wrapping paper
ribbons and fancy bits from parcels - don't buy anything specially
reel of sewing thread - anything bright or to match your paper
craft knife and cutting board
