Altered book project 2009 |
Altered books @ TSCPL
September 15 – November 9, 2009
Library Atrium
Now in its 3rd year, the altered books
project at TSCPL invited participants to
express their creativity and recycle at
the same time. Special Collections
Librarian, Brea Black, and Sabatini Art
Gallery Curator and Collections Manager,
Zan Popp, taught a workshop on August 6
that introduced techniques and materials
that could be used to turn a discarded
book into a work of art. At the end of
the workshop, participants selected a
book and were given a month to complete
their altered book.
The books used for this project were
library discards that were destined to
be recycled. No circulating books and no
books that could be sold at the Friends
book sale or in the Booktique were used
for this project.
