Book Arts Workshops
Metaphor & Metamorphosis: turning hand-crafted books into Art and Story

Book Arts workshops invite participants to transform dreams, memories, and personal stories into handcrafted artist books. Using collage, folding structures, and mixed-media techniques, each book becomes a unique artifact of self-discovery and creative expression.
Sessions are immersive yet accessible, balancing instruction with freedom. Participants move fluidly between writing, visual exploration, and reflective pauses, discovering new ways to bring narrative into form. Unconventional book structures serve as containers for stories that may not be logical or linear, offering space for the layered and symbolic nature of personal experience.
Workshops explore a wide range of paper engineering techniques—folding, cutting, nesting, and pop-ups—that animate pages and allow imagery to spring outward. Found text and images are collaged into geometric mazes and illuminated pages that echo the energy of visual storytelling.
These workshops are open to all levels and are suitable for both personal growth and professional enrichment. They provide participants with practical tools, creative methods, and new perspectives for exploring narrative through book arts in a supportive, non-therapeutic environment.


Testimonial
Victoria creates a structure that allows openness, playfulness, and deep creativity all at once. She balances joy and curiosity with intuitive wisdom, setting the field for wild imagination and authentic self-expression. Each session feels like a living laboratory, where dreams, metaphors, and images are reshaped into books that astonish and transform. She invited me to embrace my ‘outsider’ imagination—untamed, intuitive, and true—while providing invaluable tools that reignited my creative fire and showed me how book arts can be a powerful catalyst for crafting pages that carry emotional truth and resonance.
