Event Description Join us for a hands-on morning of reflection, storytelling, and creative making inspired by the photography of Graciela Iturbide. Drawing from her poetic images of landscapes, objects, and communities, this workshop invites participants to explore the relationship between people and the natural world through the creation of organic, nature-inspired books. The program will begin with an educator-led tour of the exhibition, offering close-looking opportunities and conversation to deepen engagement with Iturbide’s work. During this workshop, participants will create one-of-a-kind handmade books using natural materials such as dried leaves, shells, and wood. Guided by museum educators, you will explore simple bookmaking techniques while considering how organic forms, textures, and found elements can hold memory and meaning. Each book will become a tactile archive, an intimate meditation on place, environment, and personal connection.
