This event is part of Blank Page: Winter Programme.

Thu 21 Dec 2023 , 10:00 – 15:00 Halesworth Library Free entry Booking required

Join bookbinder and creative writer Hazel Garrity for this creative workshop for 10-16 year olds at Halesworth Library, as part of the Blank Page project! Learn how to make your own unique handmade book to gift to a loved one.

Workshop includes a free lunch, drinks, snacks and festive hot chocolate, plus other goodies!

About the workshop:

Learn how to make a unique handmade book - a thoughtful, personal and creative gift.  Show your appreciation for someone important in your life by celebrating their individual personality and interests in an unconventional way. After experimenting with key bookbinding structures and techniques in this friendly informal workshop, you will be free to express yourself through design choices in materials, layout and content.

This workshop is only for 10-16 year olds. If you feel your child requires additional support in the form of adult attendance in order to access this workshop, contact us by emailing katie.puls@suffolklibraries.co.uk.

About Hazel Garrity:

Hazel's chief enthusiasms have always been words, books and making things. As a secondary school English teacher, she has worked with young people to give them the confidence to be creative with language. Now she wants to explore the possibilities offered by combining words with the traditional craft of constructing books in different forms and expressing ideas in different ways.

About Blank Page:

The Blank Page project is an exciting new programme providing free high-quality creative activities for young people, run by local artists in libraries during the school holidays. Funded by the Department for Education’s Holiday Activity Fund.
