Cat celebrates mixed media’s freedom and the tactile magic of handmade books, sharing how experimentation, stitching, paper, and teaching keep her inspired while inviting beginners to play without fear today.

Book artists unite! If you're a lifelong learner like me, love making books, and want to meet other book makers who share your passion, then this is the event!

From childhood treasure maps to decades of mixed media bookmaking, Cat reflects on playful beginnings, her first handmade book, and how those experiences shaped her artistic journey and community vision.
