Join us at Leather Bound Books & Goods on Saturday, March 21st for a cochineal bandana dyeing workshop. Cochineal dye is derived from dried parasitic insects that live on prickly pear cacti. Amada Miller, a talented maker whose work blends art with science, will be leading the workshop and walking us through the mechanisms underlying the dyeing process. Registration is $20 (plus taxes and Eventbrite fees) to cover the cost of materials and to compensate our instructor for her time. And you'll get to keep your bandana to show off in perpetuity! To secure one of our limited slots, register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984675765641?aff=oddtdtcreator

Need we say more? Come to the bookstore to read and be read.

Join us for a special evening with award-winning writer and part-time-Marathon-dweller Joe Holley. Joe will tell stories based on columns from his latest book, Native Texan: Stories from Deep in the Heart, and talk with attendees about Texas. He might also give us a sneak peek into what he’s got cooking next.

Round up your gals for an evening of ladies celebrating ladies. We’ll have a guided paint-and-sip, periodic readings of empowering poems and passages from badass female writers, tasty treats, and all-around good times. Bring food or a beverage to share, or just bring yourself! To secure a spot for the paint-and-sip, shoot an email to marybeth@leatherboundmtx.com.
