Bookmaking Workshop: My Story
This event has passed.
Explore personal storytelling through bookmaking in the first session of a four-weekend summer series at Vizcaya Village. Bookmaking Workshop: My Story, part of the Binding Histories program, takes place Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15 at the Vizcaya Village Garage.
Led by artists Nicole Combeau and Sean Sullivan, the workshop introduces a modified accordion book structure as a creative tool for exploring memory, identity and self-expression. Participants will use collage, stamping and text to build layered books that reflect their own stories. Materials are provided, and the workshop is free with advance registration. All registrants will be asked to confirm participation via email the week of the event to retain their spot.
Combeau is a Miami-based artist and educator whose interdisciplinary work focuses on memory, cultural preservation and community collaboration. Sullivan, also known as Sean Was Here, is a creative technology artist specializing in immersive 3D projection mapping installations that connect audiences with digital art in shared physical spaces.
Binding Histories is part of Studio Vizcaya, an annual summer program that invites local artists to collaborate with the community on original, site-inspired works. The series continues over three additional weekends and concludes with a public animated installation on July 26, at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.
