Book Alchemy Workshop: Transforming Books into Art In-Person

Step away from academic pressures and immerse yourself in the transformative power of text and image.

Book Alchemy turns the library's withdrawn books into materials for creative expression. In the workshop we'll use text, mixed media and paint to create artworks from old books; or even transform books into art objects.

Join us for a refreshing experience that combines creative expression with self-care. 

Event Highlights:

  • Recharge your mind with a creative break from your studies.
  • Explore book art as a unique and imaginative form of expression.
  • Experiment with techniques combining text, mixed media and paint.
  • Connect with like-minded students and build a sense of community.

All materials will be provided.
