MAKER MAKER: Mini Banners with Melissa Morris
Get ready for a bookbinding extravaganza as we welcome Laura K. Watson back to MAKER MAKER. Learn to hand-stitch a simple book with just paper and card. Mix and match coloured covers, inner pages, and binding thread to create a sweet, one-of-a-kind book.
Laura will share tips and tricks to get you started. We’ll have all the tools and materials you’ll need plus stamps and decorative paper for embellishment. Make one book or make many!
Laura Watson is an artist and writer living in Sackville, NB in the Siknikt district of Mi’kma’ki. She acquired her BFA from Mount Allison University in 2015 and is currently Tantramar’s Poet Laureate. She makes zines, prints, and textile works that combine drawing and poetry.
MAKER MAKER is a monthly program of seriously small after-hours art workshops. Led by diverse Maker Mentors, each workshop introduces a pocket-sized art project that can be made in two hours or less. Designed for accomplished and aspiring makers alike, MAKER MAKER is for anyone interested in making small things by hand with friends and fellow makers. This informal workshop series explores how working small can be practical, portable and playful, economical, sharable and even wearable.
MAKER MAKER is free, all materials are provided, and no registration is required. This program is made possible thanks to funding from The Rotary Club of Sackville, the Municipality of Tantramar, the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, and the generosity of Genie and Bruce Coates.
