Abstract Marks and Slip Knot Binding

This playful workshop combines two creative processes: first, participants explore abstract mark making using a variety of tools to craft unique decorative papers, and then they stitch those papers together using a slipknot binding technique to create a finished book or folio. The session is hands‑on and encourages experimentation with texture, color, and form, with no prior experience required. All materials are provided by the host venue, Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, a dedicated space for printmaking, papermaking, and book arts in Hyattsville, Maryland.
