In 2022 we will be making Mini Books. We will be looking at how exploring techniques in miniature can result in some exquisite pieces of work. We will be using a mixed media approach in our work, involving card, paper and fabric along with some unusual and vintage materials. We will be printing, drawing, embellishing with stitch and using collage to bring the pieces together. These tiny pieces of art are a delightful way to Art Journal in a unique and delightful way.
