Valerie Savarie - Altered Book Art 
www.valeriesavarie.com
Learn the basics of creating altered book art by cutting, collaging, drawing, painting, sewing and just letting your imagination run wild!
We will be working on what I call the “Mouse House” style of altered book which is a great beginning project. The cutting will be rough and allows for a more free form style – as though a mouse has chewed through it to create its home. Any little critter could ultimately live inside the 3-D world you create, the choice is yours. Using stencils for cut-outs adds to the overall composition by creating depth and shadows in a predominately black and white back ground (text and page). You can create your inhabitants (draw or paint) or use images from book scraps that are provided. If you would like more of a challenge - precise clean cut, this is an option that can be worked on instead as the same basic tools are used – just need a steady hand and a bit more patience.
A book will be provided but you may bring your own if you have one that you are wanting to turn into art.
Limit of participants: 15
