Handmade Accordion Book Workshop

Handmade Accordion Book Workshop

Create a personalized accordion book with Art Therapist Kristen Wojcoski. Handmade books can be an incredibly special keepsake holding memories, stories, thoughts, and experiences. We'll set intentions on how you want your book to serve you, including documenting experiences like vacations, memorializing those you might be grieving, becoming a new parent, or creating a book to start your own visual journaling practice! The process provides ample opportunities for self expression as you choose from a variety of materials, textures, and colors.
