Do you love to write, and also love to craft? In this camp, we'll spend half our time writing and the other half crafting our words into pieces of art. We'll write a series of poems, and then compile them into zines or chapbooks using beautiful papers. We'll write short stories, then publish them by cutting out the sentences and forming them into a sculpture. We'll make snow globes, design our own puzzles, send messages in bottles, and more, all as a means of self-publishing our words—craftily!

This drop-off camp is offered during MSP's MEA break and designed for campers in grades 1-3. Consider registering for a Minnesota Center for the Book Arts workshop in the afternoon, Suminagashi Paper Marbling: Ages 6-8 here, for a full day of visual and literary arts in Open Book! Campers attending both camps must bring lunch from home. To experience the full day, please register for Lunch Time Care here here; Loft and MCBA staff will facilitate lunch and a brief field trip outside (weather permitting). Space is limited.

This class takes place in-person, at the Loft at Open Book; we encourage participants to be fully vaccinated and masked in the interest of everyone’s safety.
