About
Join the Old Salem staff in exploring another round of 18th century crafts! This time, we will get hands-on with the traditional techniques of creating hand-made blank books with colorful paste paper. This highly sought after paper was a truly Moravian tradition used in the 18th century for book binding, stationary, and crafts. This workshop will teach you the techniques you need to make small journals, ledgers, or even pocket sketchbooks.
Participants will each get to cover and bind a book of their own and make paste paper for future at-home projects! Workshop is appropriate for ages 8+, and we ask that all minor participants are accompanied by a ticketed adult.
