Mit krearum on tour in the Netherlands in April 2017

I am so happy to invite you to “Paper Lover Book Making Workshops” in the Netherlands this April. A workshop where I will guide you through all the steps of making your very own unique hand bound book with lots of pretty paper inside.

I will host four workshops in the beginning of April 2017:

• Saturday 1st April: In Juffrouw Saartje in GOUDA (10:30-16:30)
• Sunday 2nd April: In Flow Kas in Snorfabriek in UTRECHT (12:30-16:30)
• Saturday 8th April: In Atelier Indrukwekkend in DELFT (10:30-16:30)
• Sunday 9th April: In Concept Store DORDRECHT (10:00-16:00)

Make your own book

Do you dream of creating your own inspiration book or notebook? A unique book that no one else has – that totally represents you and everything that you like? A book filled with inspiration, drawings, dreams or secrets that you can spend hours playing with or looking in…?

I teach you how to sew your own personal book in A5 size with all kinds of new and recycled paper, old books, music sheets, magazines, scraps or pretty illustrations.

I promise you that you will bring home your very own unique and special hand bound book, filled with your DNA.

A book of its own

I call the books for inspiration books – or mood books. You can also call it a junk journal, a smash book, a scrap book or an art journal.

It’s a book to write in, a book to doodle in, a book to glue something inspiring in, a book to travel with – in other words: A book with a very personal story depending on the creator.

For the record, I should mention that it is not a traditional book binding workshop. I sew the books in my own way, giving it a more personal and unique touch – so it’s able to grow over time when you stick inspirational things into it…

You can see me flip through one of my own inspiration books on videos here on my gallery #mitkrearummoodbook on Instagram.

Facts about the workshops

I will bring EVERYTHING for the workshop. You just have to bring yourself – and maybe a friend – and enjoy the creative process together with other paper lovers.

The workshops are spread in four different cities in the Netherlands – and last 6 hours, except the one in Utrecht which only lasts 4 hours due to the opening hours in Snorfabriek.

I will guide you step by step in making your own book. And I will provide you with all the paper and materials you need.

The workshop include:

• A step by step DIY guide of how to make your very own book
• All materials – and lots of pretty paper
• A paper lover goodie bag
• 6 hour workshop: Lunch, coffee, tea and sweets (in Gouda, Delft, Dordrecht)
• 4 hour workshop: Coffee, tea and sweets (in Utrecht)
• I will bring a lot of my own mood books for your inspiration

All workshops will be in English.

The only thing I ask you to bring is a picture, a post card, a book mark or a fabric you like a lot. Something that will show me what inspires you or what you love. That will be the mood board or color theme for the book you will be making.

YES! I want to join the workshop

The sign up for the workshop is open now via etsy.com/shop/mitkrearum.

I really hope to see you on my tour around the Netherlands – and I promise you an unforgettable day loaded with creative flow.

With love from Denmark, Susanne ♥

More about Susanne from mit krearum

I am a paper lover, book maker, dreamer and doodler. In 2014 I made 365 mood boards, and in 2015 I made doodles for Flow Weekly for you to color – and I felt totally in love with the Netherlands and the Flow Magazine world. I live in Denmark in a village 40 km’s south of Copenhagen with my boyfriend and my flower garden and green house. I work as an activity coordinator at a nursing home – and host a lot of paper lover workshops in the weekends.

I have only been in touch with my creativity for four years. Before that I was working behind a computer and dreaming about living a creative life. Now I live my dream. And all my mood books play a very big role in getting in touch with and unfolding my creative path.
