In this workshop each person will receive a hefty tome to remake into a different kind of lexicon. Sew it up, glue it, fold, spindle and mutilate. Make it into twenty small pamphlets attached by threads, choose your favorite words and images and make collaged pages, find juicy words and use them to form a specialized reference book, cut windows and doors into this vast repository of knowledge. Delete all the words and leave the images, form a giant mountain of words. These are just some of the possibilities we will consider as we skillfully reconstitute the American Heritage and many more.
