Spring Bookmaking Events


Join us for an evening of hands-on fun and make a small book to welcome in the spring. Susan will lead you through the bookmaking process and then you'll have time to decorate your book with images cut from garden catalogs.

Homes for Poems Bookmaking Workshop

Newburyport Literary Festival

Author, educator and renowned Newburyport artist Susan Gaylord guides young and old during this workshop on creating personal poetry books. Using a stick, string or ribbon, and recycled paper, each burgeoning artist will craft a small book perfect for haiku or other small poems. Collage papers, markers, and printed haiku from the Japanese masters will be supplied. This workshop is geared for families but open to all.

Oh, Susan, how I wished I lived where you live so I could experience your classes. sigh... Mahalo, thank you, for sharing announcements of your gatherings; ideas are abundant from the photos of projects.

I take that as great praise from someone who lives in Hawaii. Thank you so much. I'm glad you find the photos an inspiration.
