Join us in MCBA’s studios for a day of book arts and earn your Book Artist Badge!
Bind books, make paper, and print on a press at Book Artist Badge Day! Visit MCBA’s studios for a half-day workshop and learn about the history of the book and contemporary book arts with professional teaching artists. Designed to fulfill the requirements of the Girl Scouts’ Book Artist Badge, this hands-on exploratory workshop is open to all girls and non-binary youth ages 10–18 interested in book arts.
Groups of up to ten participants will rotate through MCBA’s studios where a teaching artist and parent volunteer will guide them through an activity lasting about 45 minutes.
We need about eight parents to volunteer at the event to guide individual groups from activity to activity and to assist each teaching artist. Caregivers interested in volunteering should reach out to Laura Brown (lbrown@mnbookarts.org) to share name, contact information, and connection(s) to participants.
Parents who do not sign up to volunteer are welcome to stay and enjoy the exhibition in the gallery, the Shop at MCBA, and the rest of Open Book. Any parents interested in participating in the day’s activities will need to register ahead of time.
