Bookmaking with the Sisters of Life & their guests

Last weekend I taught a bookmaking workshop in collaboration with the Sisters of Life and their lovely guests ❤️ Sr. Mary Katherine started us out with a intro about recognizing the beauty God created each of us with & how living out of this truth helps us learn to see beauty more clearly around us, reflect the beauty of others back to them, and draw beauty out from within ourselves through taking time to create and have leisure. We then created books with the prompt “Where do I find beauty?”

It is such a gift to work with these sisters and to have a small part in their mission to care for pregnant mothers in need here in the city. To learn more about their work and beautiful stories from their ministry click here.

(Example books on the table are from a recent monitor-to-monitor bookmaking workshop at Blackburn Printmaking, & from artists Teddy Lepley and Dave Johnson)
