Print & Paper from Home: Build a Commonplace Book
Two-Part Series: Fridays 3/26 & 4/2 | Noon–1 p.m. CT
Have you ever wondered how sheets of paper become a book? In this two-part series, participants will make and decorate a Commonplace Book. We will fold a signature (a set of blank pages), bind it and add a beautiful quote or two. You’ll have a Commonplace book to use for notes or give as a gift. The first virtual session showcases part of the book arts that you can make with basic materials. We conclude with a second session on modern lettering and a short talk on the history of the color blue and how pigments are made. Join one or both events. Register here for session 1 on March 26 and Register here for session 2 on April 2. Once we receive your registration, we’ll send you the supply list. Please email any questions to ACE@Vanderbilt.edu.
