Book Arts in Benicia

Who would think that the former Capital of California would have a vital Arts Center, Open Studios and be able to host a Book Arts Class? This "Chinese Sewing Wallet" with 13 hidden box-pockets was made, under the watchful eye of Laurie Whitehill (retired Special Collections Librarian at RISD), from a mere three, count 'em three, pieces of Nepalese paper. What a satisfying experience!! Now it's ready to fill, fold and close. It's going with me on my next trip!!!
