Mini-Books of Failure Workshop

Sunday, April 16th, 2023

11am to 2pm

with artist Maureen Da Silva

$60 plus tax

inPrint artist Maureen Da Silva has long cultivated a practice of turning her failed works on paper into adorable and miniature hard-cover books, developing various mini-libraries to go alongside with them!

Done in German-style covers, collect any works on paper you *think* failed - whether a drawing, a print, or even maybe some writing! - and give it a new life as an abstracted miniature book. We'll supply paper for text blocks even if you don't have a failure at hand. Books can be left as is OR turned into a necklace or hanging ornament at participants' desire.

No bookbinding experience required, feel free to fail at making these books too, there's no judgement here as you are learning!!

Bookbinding tools and materials supplied, just BYOF (Bring Your Own Failures)!
