Title

Making Books with Children with Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord

Description

Books have been an important part of my life since I was a small child. Through them, I traveled to far-off lands and imaginary kingdoms, met wonderful friends, and learned how to do all kinds of new things from cooking to calligraphy to making books. I made some books as a child but my passion for construction came when I had a child of my own.

I've always liked making things. I got it from my mother. She never concentrated on any one thing but in her life she sewed, knitted, painted, and made stained glass, as well as enhanced our lives with Christmas ornaments, house, table, and holiday decorations. And she did it all without the guidance of Martha Stewart.

It's been a long journey from the girl making crafts with her mother to the artist and teacher of today. I graduated from Boston University with a degree in English Literature. I spent a year being miserable doing clerical work in an office, followed by four years teaching swimming for the Boston School Department, where I learned to project my voice over 30 screaming kids in the echo chamber of the pool.
