REMINDER! Soft Weight Workshop (Beanie Baby Edition)

CC
Communications Chair
Wed, Mar 26, 2025 2:29 PM

Hello, Friends!
Please join the GBW New England Chapter for our upcoming workshop! Bexx
Caswell-Olson will be introducing us to the art of making book weights out
of BEANIE BABIES. Yes, you heard that right. We will be turning our long
forgotten little friends into useful tools for our binderies (using steel
shot! No lead!)
You're welcome to bring in your own favorite beanie babies from your
childhood, but if your mom threw yours out like mine did (I'm not bitter)
we have a stash you can choose from.
The workshop will be held on March 29th from 1pm-4pm at the Northeast
Document Conservation Center in Andover, MA and we will be giving a tour of
the space before the class begins!  Double Whammy!
The fee for this class will be $25 for members and $30 for non-members.
Follow the link below to sign up!

Cheers!
