The Book Arts Patch Day for Girls is designed for all girls age 10-18 to learn about and practice the book arts through hands-on experience. If you are a Girl Scout, the Book Arts Patch Day will help fulfill the requirements for the Girl Scouts Cadette Book Artist Patch. However, the Book Arts Patch Day is open for all girls, whether they are a Girl Scout, American Heritage Girl, sister of a Girl Scout, or just interested in a great experience.

Teams of girls rotate between six stations covering every aspect of the book arts including letterpress printing, paper making, bookbinding, and illustration design. Each participant will make their own sheets of paper, make a variety of books using various methods, screen print their own book covers and t-shirts, and much more. The day is filled with lots of hands-on activities and detailed presentations given by industry experts and educators.
