What is an Altered Book? It's a book that is given a new life through art! From old and stained books to brand new, their covers and pages can be altered in many ways. You can paint, cut, fold, sew, collage, tear, drill, glue or adorn them in any way you want! This can be in a single visit, or you can alter the same book over multiple visits.

Altering supplies will be provided, you just need to provide the book!
