Mon, 10/17/2022 - 12:00 - Wed, 05/31/2023 - 12:00 Our hands-on public humanities project will bring Book Arts education to the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System.

Nat McGartland and Shannon Neal will bring Book Arts workshops to the Teens Action Group at the Hyattsville Branch this Spring. By bringing tools, materials, and touchable examples to our workshops, we aim to make Book Arts accessible following the CAARES principles of equity and equal access. Workshops will include: letterpress printing, book binding, paper making, creating bookmarks and postcards, and engaging with reading and writing through experimental poetry. These workshops aim to build leadership skills, creative confidence, artistic skills, and engagement with the humanities outside of a test-based environment.
