Curio Chronicles: A Bookbinding, Collage, and Assemblage Workshop

Unlock the secrets of the Curio Chronicles, where each page, binding, and embellishment becomes part of an artful narrative. You’ll create a collection of hand-bound books, each capturing fragments of mystery, memory, and imagination. We’ll work through a combination of collage, bookbinding, and assemblage techniques to produce volumes that feel like artifacts discovered in a hidden library. Craft pages on a range of materials like wood, mica, fabric, and metal, weaving layers of texture and story. As we bind these pages, you’ll learn Mixed Coptic and Long Stitch techniques. To house these treasures, you’ll design a personalized display box—a cabinet of curiosities—an exquisite showcase. Curio Chronicles is a hands-on exploration of art and artifact, blending personal expression with timeless craftsmanship.
