About this Course

Explore the beautiful world of handmade books! Students will design and decorate their own canvas covers using paints, markers, stamps, and stencils. They will then create the book sections (signatures) with their preferred paper stock, and hand sew them into their canvas covers. This class is a fun exploration of color and experimentation with various painting techniques for artists of all levels. Everyone will go home with their own unique creative masterpiece! Join teacher Nikki Mason, who has a Master’s in Art Administration and serves as a longtime art docent in the Issaquah School District. She enjoys working in many art mediums including acrylic paint, watercolor, pen and ink, mixed media, printmaking, bookmaking, as well as paper and fiber arts.
