HomeSayge Carroll – Bookins Workshop
Sayge is a black woman wearing a multicolored shirt.

Artist and advocate Sayge Carroll has been tending the soil of community through art for more than 20 years. Throughout their career, they have harnessed the tools of visual art, sound/music, and civic engagement to create work that links ancestry to the present and honors the historic contributions — from its notable figures to natural resources to cultural traditions. In their public art and events, Carroll works outside traditional art spaces to reach people in the context of their lives and communities. They hold an MFA from the University of Minnesota. They have presented in colleges, NECCA, and elementary schools, hospitals, and business meetings.

In this workshop, you will bind a leather journal. We will cut and size the paper, leather and bind 5 signatures into a personal journal for sketching or writing. Leather, paper, book bone, ruler, leather hole punch, string for binding, and needles. The goal is to learn how to make a journal and fill it with thoughts, drawings, ideas of one’s own.
