Altered Books

Transform the Old into the New

Altered book making is a form of mixed media artwork that means changing the original books appearance into something different, changing, or altering its intended meaning. This is a wonderful metaphor of transformation. The representation of re-adapting what once was, and that it can always be changed again. It allows for the combination of art and words. You will explore mixed media, from creative writing, poetry, painting, collage and drawing.

If you have a book that you would like to bring to recycle and transform you are more then welcome to. There is no need or artistic or writing skills required, just an openness to share and a desire to create is encouraged.
