Narrative Treasure Box with Alicia Bailey (Bainbridge Island, WA)

Alicia Bailey is coming back to BARN for another of her wonderful workshops. She is a rare combination of talented artist and excellent teacher, and this workshop is sure to be another fabulous experience.

Using a variety of layering, transfer and mark making techniques, and working from a personal memory or other favorite narrative, participants will create a hard cover accordion book. Participants will then create a single tray partition box with a built in shadow box that will allow for permanent storage of a personal object alongside the newly made book.

Participants will be asked ahead of time to bring a small object to the workshop that triggers a memory or holds some sort of personal significance. No previous bookmaking experience is required. Painting and drawing experience is helpful but not required.

Please feel free to bring a bag lunch. BARN has a refrigerator to store your lunch in. There are limited options for purchasing lunch nearby.
