Videos for Bookbinding - A Visual Journal Workshop

Bookbinding Workshop Materials

 

Administered by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts (GVCA), Mt. Morris, NY (Formerly of the Geneseo Migrant Center), CAMPS has produced instructional arts videos for farmworker families and Out of School Youth. These videos can be accessed on smartphones, tablets, and laptops! Printed steps with photo examples accompany each video.

In Bookbinding: A Visual Journal with Kat Donahue, students will create two books: a no-stitch origami book and a hand-stitched pamphlet. Visual Journals are similar to diaries. They are a great way to record memories and tell stories. The video shows different ways to decorate letters, as well as how to illustrate thoughts in a graphic way. These techniques will broaden students’ creativity and expression. (3 videos ~ For grades 6-12, OSY, and adults)
