Thursday, April 23, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm – Nature Journals: Small & Simple Handmade Books

by

In this Friends of Wellesley Botanic Garden workshop on Thursday, April 23, from 9:30 – 3:30 with Suzanne Lee, create a book great for a diary, recipe book, special memories, or travel journal.  Choose to also make a small notepad or sketchbook holder.  Use hand-made papers, beautiful combinations of natural dried leaves, fabric collage, or combinations of old sketches and paintings.  Use tiny sketches or natural scraps you’ve collected, if you wish, but the workshop includes all materials for either project.  No previous experience needed.  Friends: $85, nonmembers $100.  Register by calling 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
