This is a ticketed event. Only registered attendees will be able to attend, as space is limited.This half-day preconference, facilitated by Buffalo’s
Western New York Book Arts Center, located just two blocks from the Hyatt Regency Buffalo, will provide two hands-on crafting experiences:
Bookmaking: Simple Techniques - Participants can expect to learn about various bookmaking structures and complete at least two (2) different handmade origami books (difficulty appropriate for children & tweens).
Letterpress Printmaking - Participants will engage in hands-on typesetting & printing with antique letterpress type and imagery, operating a press from the 1930s to create a commemorative, collaborative custom broadside or greeting card. Time will be devoted to discussing alternative simple printmaking methods for young students.
Participants will be able to create materials using WNYBA’s expansive knowledge and resources and learn practical applications for bookmaking and printmaking programming in their communities.
Registrants will be added to this event in SCHED based on ALA registration data and will be sent details accordingly. If you are not registered for this event but would like to be, please email Sarah Polen at spolen [at] ala.org.
