Books can be made out of anything so why recycle when you can repurpose?

Food and beverage packaging has some of the best design around. In this workshop, we'll look at ways to turn packaging into book covers. 

Students will begin by making a 3-hole pamphlet stitch notebooks from six-pack containers then move on to making pamphlet stitch notebooks with pockets from cereal boxes and Japanese stab books from dessert packaging.

Students are encouraged to bring questions about how their favorite food and drink packaging can be turned into a book. These challenges will be discussed as time allows.

Everyone will leave the class with 3 - 4 completed notebooks.
