Learn how to recreate an existing book into your own work of art. Use paint or fancy papers. Build windows, doorways, drawers, or scrolls. Embed sentimental objects. Add your own words or find a poem within the existing text. Altered book-making is a powerful way to process a life change, or to honor an important memory or vision. As you transform a book, you may find yourself transformed as well.

Pendle Hill will supply books suitable for altering along with ample supplies for altering and decorating them. If you have a book that is important for you to transform, it should be hardbound with a firm binding and without yellowed pages. You are also invited to bring items or adornments that have significance to you if you wish to use them.
