Bookbinding & manifestation for Pheonix Arts Space
Commissioned by Broken grey wires workshop in collaboration with Outside In.
The workshop encouraged self-reflection, through first art and image making, and secondly book binding. Making in a group environment provides learners with friendship and solace while they create and journey inwards.
Participants learnt how to make and bind a personal journal. Following this, I lead the group to looking at ways we can utilise drawing as therapy. The book was taken away, becoming a
well-being tool and personal practice for the individuals to beyond the workshop.
