Life Size Book Project - Creating the Content


Our first workshop! 25 northeast community members arrived to share their visions for a fun-filled brain-storming and sketching session with us and artists Laura Brown and Bridget O'Malley to create the content for the Northeast Life Size Book. 


Kids, youth and adults share their ideas of, experiences in, and what they identify as northeast Minneapolis with papermaker Bridget O'Malley.


Participants share what they have expressed with the group and printmaker
Laura Brown takes the drawings and cut out paper shapes with her to her studio to create the cut out for the printmaking workshop next week.
