PRINTING PARTNERS @ Locust Street Art

Register your creatively curious little one for PRINTING PARTNERS, a program where students engage in hands-on learning about the book arts. Together we’ll explore: origami, soft & hardcover bookmaking, various forms of making prints, and more!

The program runs for 8 weeks, with one class led each week. Book Arts teaching artist Ruby Merritt will lead students step by step to create folded origami books, stitched journals, hand carved stamps and more. Each class builds upon the other–by the end of the program young learners will have developed skills to create more complicated and unique pieces of book art!

Registration is FREE thanks to our generous funders.
