About

Join Puget Sound Book Artists and BARN's Print & Book Arts Studio for a special presentation by educator and artist Babette Mayor. She'll share her collection of unique objects, from paper bags to books and posters, demonstrating the power of graphic design in everyday life. Babette will explore how ordinary materials can spark creativity, reveal unexpected design solutions, and inspire new directions in your own book arts practice.

If you have a favorite design reference book that you return to for inspiration or an object that shows the power of graphic design, bring it along to share with the group.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
