A one-day workshop for educators and anyone with works a lot with children; we make eight different small bookforms, including the binding of the handouts into a book. The idea is to promote literacy for kids or teens by encouraging them to make, write or illustrate their own books. The emphasis will be on being able to make these books with inexpensive tools and recycled materials when possible. Bookbinding nomenclature is used and bookbinding principles are communicated, building a base for further study in bookbinding. Fun projects for using the books, developed by classroom teachers, are suggested. Pre-cut materials, tools, such as scissors and stickglue, and handouts with instructions are provided. My fee for teaching this workshop is 450.00, which includes supplies, simple tools and the instructional handouts. Class size is limited to fifteen people.
