Time: 10:00am - noon

Location: Minnesota Center for Book Arts, 1011 Washington Avenue South

For families with children ages 2+

Celebrate United Nations Day with Sesame Street's We All Sing with the Same Voice and create books from around the world. Sew a Japanese rice paper book. Fold a Mexican curandero book. String a Southeast Asian slatted palm book. Roll up an Ethiopian wish scroll. And other great books from other great countries!

Join Ellen Ferrari for Saturday mornings of family book arts fun! Each workshop starts off with a story and game to warm up your creativity and then dives into a book arts project. Workshops accommodate a range of developmental levels so that adults and children (or) adult/child teams may choose to work together or side-by-side. Each participant receives supplies to use during the workshop, but may choose to bring one set home if working with his or her partner. Ellen will provide older children with suggestions for extending their learning.

$30 ($27 members) adult/child pair, $15 ($14) each additional participant.
