No books have been more feared than grimoires and no books have been more valued and revered. Originating in the 17th century the witches grimoire was a collection of herbal recipes, magical spells and familial ceremonies.
In this intimate workshop which is part herbalism, part art, and part ceremony you will create a unique, and one of a kind artist book celebrating you. A physical record of your place in the universe, your life book of recipes, rituals, memories and family traditions.
Many of us have forgotten how to keep our own stories alive, this is where this book begins. Through a series of guided exercises, journalling and creative exploration we will each create a one of a kind book that is both meaningful, and visually cohesive. Every page will be filled with wonder. Nature will be our muse as we explore our ancestral relationship with plants and magic.
We will learn various artist book binding methods and structures and work with the following techniques for crafting the unique and personal content; Nature printing methods, plant pressing, Image Transfer techniques, Historical photographic methods, paper making and more.
