Come have some creative fun.  Elena Caruthers has studied calligraphy and book binding for 15 years and has offered to conduct a free workshop on binding little books for the community.  These little books could be used for both personal gifts and as charitable gifts.  If we can’t stop making them, we can send them to a shelter. They are a quarter the size of an 8.5 x 11” sheet measuring about 5.5”x4.25” and can be very simple or decorated.  In the workshop, we’ll start with a simple book with pamphlet stitch. There are other fancier stitches to learn as well if we have time and interest.  Supplies will be provided. 

Date: November 14th at 2pm in the Social Hall at Arlington Community Church, 52 Arlington Ave, Kensington.  Please RSVP to the church office (510) 526-9146 if you plan to attend, so supplies can be provided. 

What to bring?  Yourself, curiosity and enthusiasm.  If you have a piece of artwork you’d like to use to decorate the cover, bring it along - but most of the time we’ll be stitching. More decorating can be done at home.
