Learn to make handmade books using your own recycled material. Bring packaging of all kinds, leaflets, rubber stamps, and so on, and an inspiration, wish, or thought on how to transform the world (or even one life) to hand-letter as the text within. At the end of the workshop, we’ll visit the exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto: Cittadellarte for a conversation about art and social transformation, using our handmade books as inspiration.
