Bookmaking with Young Children


Openning day of the Book Exhibition


This was one of the first workshops that we held for young audience. It focused on means of expressing oneself through creating a book, a pamphlet, or a publication. 

The audience who participated in the workhops was from 3 to 6 years old, so we focused on simple Japanese binding and oil pastels as the main medium of self expression:

The result of the series of workshops was a book about oneself: children drew images of their favorite activities, interests and close people.

The workshop series culminated in a collective book launch and exhibition at a local children’s library.
