Make a variety of concertina books in this one day workshop. Also known as accordion or leporello, these beguiling zigzag shapes will allow us to explore the folded book.  We will make books with a simple fold, pockets, and double leaves. Pamphlet Stitching will be introduced, introducing a further dimension to this versatile book form.

We will look the importance of paper grain and how to fold, and cover your books to create useful and beautiful books using basic tools. Your day of making includes all materials, including paper, board, various decorative papers, bookcloth,  and adhesive to make your own uniquely designed books.

You’ll take away your unique handbound books, new skills, and the satisfaction and well-being that the investment of time into working creatively brings.
