Carol Owen: "Altered book artists like to say there are no rules.  
To that I would add, just a chance to play and have fun. In this workshop we will use collage and embellishment to turn old books into interactive works of art.
Each student will make… Show more a reference book so they have a permanent record of the techniques shown. I will demonstrate various ways of doing backgrounds, how to get color and texture on a page. We will do pockets, slits and pull-outs, niches, and doors, and many different kinds of pop ups. I will discuss glues and paints, and the types of books that work best for this art form. 
I will have examples of my altered books with me.  This class is suitable for all levels."
