Youth – Handmade In the Digital Age : Make a Book and Use it

Fri 10 AM | Youth

Kate Elliot

The only thing I have done religiously in my life is keep a journal. I have hundreds of them, filled with feathers, flowers, photographs, and words – without locks, open on my shelves. – Terry Tempest Williams – In an increasingly digital society, many people are rediscovering the joy and utility of keeping an analog journal. As we enter into the spirit of the WildGoose, let’s talk about the many reasons – including spiritual growth and mental health – to write and make art by hand, even if only occasionally. Kate will lead participants in making a small book to be used at the maker’s discretion, perhaps as a way to record notes, thoughts, and feelings about the festival. No previous bookmaking experience is needed. All the necessary supplies – paper, thread, and glue – will be provided but feel free to bring any bits and bobs you might like to add to make the book your own.
