A NEW SCHOOL YEAR HAS JUST BEGUN

Hello everybody!!

A new schoolyear has just begun and we have new and creativ  Art projects.
To start we are binding new ART JOURNALS and SKETCHBOOKS with new ideas and recycled material.
Once we finish them we'll upload some photos here. In the meanwhile you can have a look at this link on the subject.

All sketchbooks are binded handmade. The covers are made of cardstock and wrapping paper.

 Art students decorate their Art Journals on their style.

Students use old images, ribbons, buttons, stamps, scrap papers....
