Library

What is an altered book and how do you create one? Come find out during this workshop with local artists Luanne Ripley Kreutzer, Chris Vietmeier, and Barbara Weaving Lines. Altered books bring together a variety of mixed media and paper crafting techniques including collage, journaling, rubber stamping, embellishing, and scrapbooking. The creative possibilities are endless, and can go where your imagination takes you.

We are overwhelmed with messages from politicians, news sources and other me-dia. Learn to distinguish truth from fiction using critical thinking strategies. The work-shop uses real world examples of political ads, news headlines, logical fallacies, graphs / charts, the effect of word choice in messaging, statistical data and other types of information in a “what do you see here? / what is missing?” type of format.

The last part is about finding accurate information. The goal is to help people become their own “factchecker”.
