ID : 939   

« back to classes page
This eight week in-person bookmaking class begins with a focus on creating five books using an accordion (concertina) structure in a variety of styles and formats. Each of the first five weeks will also incorporate instruction in cover and closure options. Weeks six and seven emphasize time for designing your own book that incorporates all your favorite components, with the instructor available to assist with planning and problem-solving. The eighth week's focus is on creating a slip case for one of your books. Previous bookmaking experience is helpful but not required.
