Book Artist Badge

Join us in MCBA’s studios for a day of book arts and earn your Book Artist Badge!

Bind books, make sheets of paper, print on a press, and more! Badge Day is designed to fulfill the requirements of the Girl Scouts Book Artist Badge and is open to all girls ages 10–18 interested in book arts.

How it Works

Groups of up to ten participants will rotate through MCBA’s bindery, print studio, and papermaking studio where a teaching artist and caregiver-volunteer will guide them through an activity (about 45 minutes each). The day will finish with time for lunch and a self-guided activity in MCBA’s gallery and Open Book.

Registration is required for all participants and includes the cost of materials. See upcoming Book Artist Badge days below.

$55/participant (10% discount for MCBA members)

Accessibility
MCBA uses an inclusive definition of the word “girl” and welcomes all girl-identifying, non-binary, and gender non-conforming youth to this event. Open Book has an elevator and accessible and gender-neutral bathrooms. Quiet space will be available for anyone needing a break from the hubbub of the studios.
