I love to recycle and reuse stuff as art supplies. This is pretty easy to do as a paper based artist.
Books as ART Materials is an online class that starts soon. I am getting ready for class and realized that I have 5 big boxes of books, book parts and sample pieces. Hmmm?
Most books will have some positive quality:
- great cover cloth
- strong book board
- wonderfully aged pages
- spine bits and aparts
If you are thinking about joining us in Books as ART Materials, then now is a good time to start collecting old books.
Qualities and features to look for in old books:
- Old but not precious
- music book
- big kids book
- cloth covers
- foreign language
- dictionary
- any book that inspires you
I hope you have the time to join us in this online class. You could start re-purposing a book today and create some found word poems. This can be very meditative is you approach it with a playful sense of discovery.
Enjoy!
