Workshop Description:
Students will make several miniature books with beaded spines. We will cut small pages and fold into signatures. Then a miniature case will be created by covering small boards with decorative paper and book cloth spines. Students will then make several beaded books. We will learn simple macrame using waxed linen thread adding beads in a variety of designs. Book pages will then be tied in with macrame weavings. Optionally, students can add a ribbon for hanging the book like an ornament.
