Interactive Mixed Media Star Book

Teacher: Cheryl Mezzetti
Class time: Saturday, March 20 – 4:30-7p

This class adds a twist! Discover the art of bookmaking and mixed media as you create a one-of-a-kind
interactive star-shaped album filled with hidden pages, creative details, and plenty of personality!
In this hands-on workshop, Cheryl will guide you through the process of constructing this unique album
while teaching double-needle bookbinding techniques. You’ll learn how to create beautifully stitched
pages designed to hold treasured photographs, keepsakes, journaling, and special memories.
But the creativity doesn’t stop with the binding! You’ll explore a variety of mixed-media techniques,
using layers, texture, color, and decorative elements to transform your album into a dimensional work
of art. Interactive and hidden elements add an extra sense of discovery, making your finished piece as
fun to explore as it is beautiful to display.
Whether you’re an experienced paper crafter or an adventurous beginner, this workshop offers the
perfect combination of creative exploration and practical bookmaking skills.
Join Cheryl for a memorable creative experience and leave with a stunning handcrafted star album—a
beautiful display piece ready to capture and preserve the moments that mean the most to you.
