Altered Books Fridays

Friday, May 30, 2025

2:00 PM-3:00 PM

Altered Books Fridays will be hosted on 5/16, 5/23 and 5/30 from 2-3 PM. Join the Founding Collection every Friday 2-3 PM at the Peck Alumni Center through May 30th for Altered Book Fridays! Creative Arts Therapy graduate student, Guangyu Zhang, will help guide you through the process of creating your own Altered Book.

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!

Be sure to check out the exhibition in the Peck Alumni Center Gallery Kurt Vonnegut Jr. As a Visual Artist, up through July 19th.

This event is free and open to the public. No registration required.
