Join us on Thursday, December 14, 5:30-7:00PM, for a paper-based workshop with exhibiting artist Akemi Ohira! Make your own custom blank book or creative card using age-old techniques, like the Turkish map fold and buttonhole binding. Akemi has taught creative papermaking and bookbinding to countless students through UVa, in Charlottesville and beyond. Here she will guide us through a fun and unique process in which you will walk away with a wonderful gift or personal art object to fill with your creativity!

* You’re welcome to bring any photo, writing, or other personal memento you might wish to include inside your book or card. 

The workshop is available at $10 SSG members / $15 non-members. This fee covers workshop instruction and access to all workshop materials for the activity.

The workshop is limited to 25 attendees and will take place in person at Second Street Gallery.
