Don't identify as an artist, but interested in bringing book arts into elementary or secondary classrooms? Join us for this two-day intensive with guest educator, Allison Chapman, and discover how book arts are inherently multi-disciplinary. No previous experience is necessary, but all skill levels are welcome to create both folded and sewn book structures. Emphasis is placed on age-appropriate tools and techniques so that all students are successful in creating books that are bound to be loved. Project samples incorporate science, social studies, English and math lessons and are designed with ease of preparation in min so that teachers and students can get to the fun part! Allison Chapman has been printing since she was young, taught by her grandfather in his hobby printshop. As a college student, she interned with Stan Nelson in the Graphic Arts Division of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. She then spent over a decade teaching at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, honing her letterpress craft, and running the K–12 outreach program. After inheriting her grandad's nineteenth-century platen press and collection of vintage images, metal type, Allison founded Igloo Letterpress in Minnesota in 1996. In 2008, she moved to Ohio and found a home in Old Worthington, where the one press grew to ten, outfitting a retail shop, print studio, bookbindery, and hub for creativity. Allison closed the retail shop in 2021, and Igloo is again a home-based business offering custom letterpress printing and hand bookbinding. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfr_rcIrw4JzivlNnVum8fA1tiGhMSLc2WyvGqOQUAJoT2Q0A/viewform

Join us for an evening of guided hypnotic meditation to help you meet a spirit animal and spirit guide. Connecting and working with Spirit and animal guides can be immensely helpful as we journey throughout life. We can lean on them for support, guidance, and insights during times of uncertainty, not to mention these spirit relationships can be very comforting and fulfilling. The class will begin by having you set your intention for what you are wanting guidance with at this time, then we will journey to meet our guides and consult with them about what they have to teach us in relation to our current situation. Chairs will be provided. You may wish to bring a journal to take notes, and a yoga mat and/or blanket or pillow if you wish to do the guided journey lying down.
