Flower Pounding and Bookbinding with Tiffany Knopow

Everwood Farmstead Foundation is proud to present the Artist Workshop "Flower Pounding and Bookbinding" with Tiffany Knopow on Saturday, August 9th from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm!

Hapa-Zome are prints made directly from the natural pigments in flowers and leaves using pressure from a hammer. Participants will use the beauty of nature to make these special prints and then transform the prints into a book. Students will create at least 2 prints that will be used to make one handbound blank book. No experience is necessary and all supplies are included. This Workshop will include using a hammer and a needle and thread.
