PS 19 Bookmakers Club
Step into the world of bookmaking with Ari Wolff and Citation Needed Press! This weekly workspace invites kids in grades 2–5 to dive into book arts, creative writing, printmaking, typewriting, photography, illustration, graphic design, and independent publishing. Together, we’ll experiment with tools old and new, blending imagination with craft.
Over the course of Citation Needed’s process-based art workshops, children will move through every stage of bookmaking—dreaming up ideas, shaping them into words and images, and transforming them into original artist books. Our child-led approach sparks curiosity and creativity, giving kids the freedom to follow their passions.
