  • Studio 135 CLARA 2420 N Street Sacramento, CA, 95816 United States (map)

In March we made collage pieces for an artist’s book and in April we’ll be making the accordion book structure that will house our art pieces. We will be providing the long card stock paper and the cover boards. (Donations accepted for the materials.) If you didn’t make the March meeting you can still attend in April. Just bring 6 portrait format 4" by 6" pieces to display in the book. They can be photos, prints, postcards, paintings or drawings. Or if you made collage pieces in March but can’t attend the April 16 meeting, contact LuAnne to receive the printed directions to complete the book.
