Make tiny books of memories

In this course you will learn how to make beautiful little concertina books dedicated to the memory of a person, a place, an object or a moment in time.

Techniques taught:

• Basic construction using new paper and found papers

• Three types of book closures

• Preparing textured backgrounds with found papers, fabric, paint, clay, gold leaf, pressed flowers, plaster

• Creating memory bundles

• Image transfer techniques

• Printing on fabric and tissue

• Handmade photograph ‘buttons’

• Adding hand stitch

At the end of the day, you will have a very personal handmade book as well as numerous techniques to incorporate into other artworks.

What others say about my workshops:

I had such a wonderful time at one of Jane’s workshops and will certainly go to more. Learning new techniques in a relaxed atmosphere reignited my creativity which has been somewhat lost recently. Life can have its challenges and we sometimes stop doing the thing that lifts us … creativity is good for the mind, body, and soul! Thank you, Jane, for sparking the magic again for me.

I typed ‘creative courses Plymouth’ into safari and Jane Chipp’s Enfolded Memories - make tiny books of memories’ popped up on Eventbrite. What a joy - inspirational studio - lots of fascinating techniques to experiment with - all materials supplied - delightful tutor so happy to share her thoughts and ideas - with plenty of tea coffee and biscuits. A thoroughly fabulous day thank you so much, Jane
