appropriate for an adult and child intergenerational experience. Adults may choose to cut individual designs,

like, we will also make a few of our own to use for the books. This is appropriate for an adult and

Just a little note:
Many of the classes I personally offer are meant to provide a progression
in the inter-related book arts opportunities. It is not necessary to take them in any specific order, but understand
they are complimentary in nature. By taking a decorative paper workshop, you may utilize your work
in a book structure as text pages, end sheets or as a cover. Likewise, by taking papermaking you may use the results in a
book or as a substrate for a print, drawing, painting, or with letterpress.
Think of them as part of, or a means to an end, not the end in themselves. (not that many can not stand alone and be
appreciated as completed work) It is also for this reason I repeat some foundational workshops more often. Understanding the
method to my madness may be helpful when making workshop choices.
