Delaware Valley GBW Paper Embroidery Workshop

Sunday, May 24, 2026 10am - 4pm EST

The Cassatt House, The Library Company of Philadelphia, 1320 Locust St, Phila Pa 19107

Join us for a relaxing Sunday Workshop to learn Embroidery on Paper for Book Artists.

Whether used as an alternative way of attaching papers together or as a decorative device for framing or illustrating a page, embroidery is a technique that provides texture, color, and charm to works on paper. In this workshop, you'll learn a variety of embroidery stitches on small sample pages that can be used as a reference for future projects in book arts, printmaking, and collage. We'll explore joining paper with other fibers, mark-making, creating pattern, and adding dimension to 2-D artwork.

Register online soon: first come, first serve.

Bring a bag lunch, coffee and tea will be provided.

Materials list will be emailed to participants as they register online for the workshop.

Any questions, please email Lisa Scarpello - Delawarevalley@guildofbookworkers.org
