Scrapbooking workshops

What is scrapbooking?

A photograph can say a thousand words but not when it's sitting in a box under the bed! Scrapbooking has evolved from the days of sugar paper books with magazine clippings and photographs glued in them. Today, scrapbooking is a creative process that preserves your memories and shares family events and history through photographs and story telling (journalling).

This workshop in Edinburgh Central Library was an introduction to scrapbooking and an opportunity to preserve some memories of a dead loved one. Using a favourite photograph and writing a short story people were able to make and take away a creative keepsake in remembrance.

Edinburgh Central Library, Tuesday 4 November, 2pm - 4pm
