Book Arts Lab Collaboration
Healthy Workplace is absolutely delighted to collaborate with the MacOdrum Library Book Arts Lab on a number of workshops and offerings for staff and faculty. The Book Arts Lab is an experiential learning space designed to enhance the teaching and learning experience of students using the book arts and sciences in a practical, “hand-on” manner.
Tour the Book Arts Lab
Curious to learn more about the Book Arts Lab?
Join us on Tuesday, May 19th from 12:00pm – 1:00pm for a tour of the Book Arts Lab.
An opportunity for staff and faculty to learn more about The Book Arts and how The Book Arts Lad supports learning on campus. Tour the space and pull a print!
This workshop has limited spaces available. If all spots are filled, a waitlist will be put in place. Should there be strong interest, we will look at offering additional sessions at a later date.
Curiosity Kits: Bits to Books
Take home DIY kits to make your own books – each kit lets you bind your own book using scrap paper from the Book Art Lab!
Each kit comes with most of the materials you’ll need to bind your own book. From home you will need: glue, scissors, and a pen or marker. The kits also come with instructions, and a QR code that directs you to an instructional step-by-step video.
One kit per person! Please note that there will be a limited number of kits available; however, if there is high demand among the staff and faculty community, more kits will be created and distributed at a later date.
Once you’ve made your book, snap a photo and share your experience! Don’t forget to tag @cubookartslab and @carletonu_hwp on Instagram!
