Bookbinding
During quarantine Emerge has unable to offer our regular classes and workshops, however we still wanted to bring art to our community. We reached out to Liz Steiner who was willing to put together a tutorial of bookbinding. Liz was able to create this handmade book from materials around her house - like copy paper, cereal boxes and thread. We hope that you will try your hand at book binding and share your creations with us on social media.
