Details

Come enjoy an evening making your own Bookplate and learning some of the basics of printmaking! Perfect for readers and makers alike! No prior experience is required.

A bookplate, also known as an ex-libris, is a small printed label which is adhered to a book, typically inside the front cover. It's used to indicate the book's owner, hence the name "ex-libris" which translates as "from the library of". Traditionally, bookplates bear the name of the owner, sometimes with a motto.

You will have the opportunity to make any kind of print you would like, but we will have some templates if you want to follow along with the "Ex-Libris" print. Everyone will receive a small Linoleum block for making the stamp.
