About the Workshop

Looking for a fun and creative way to spend time as a family on a school holiday? Then register now for this virtual introductory workshop on book-making with everyday household materials for kids and parents led by Instructor Maria Veronica San Martín with her 8-year-old son!

Working together, families will learn to make a double accordion book—also known as the Dos-a-Dos structure—and then fill the pages with their own designs using colored pencils, crayons, pens, and/or paints; collage; and/or with guidance on how to use stencils and make rubbings. At the end of the workshop, participants will have a chance to present what they've created and everyone will discuss ideas for how families can continue this project on their own!

Class size is limited to ensure an optimal student-to-teacher ratio. Register now before the remaining spots fill up!
