Monday, June 30, 2025 - 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Bring in a couple of your paperback books with misleading or unpleasant cover designs, and we'll create custom book jackets!
After measuring your book, we'll use Canva to make a template you can fill with their clip art, background images you find online, or your own photos. With customized text boxes on the cover and spine, your printed jacket will look fantastic. Optional: equipment for gold embossing (a marker, embossing powder, and heat gun) will be available if you want to add some shine to your book jacket.
Supplies will be provided, but you're welcome to find online images you'd like to use beforehand. The higher the resolution the better.
Please register, as space is limited.
