On Sunday, October 5, 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m., the UMass Amherst Library will host a hands-on workshop led by local artist Tonya Lemos. Participants will learn to create an explosion book, a small square book that opens into a series of square and triangular pages. No prior bookmaking experience is required. Materials will be provided, and each attendee will complete one book to take home.
