In this class we will create folded books that require no adhesive. Many of the forms can be made from a single sheet of paper. One of the pieces we'll be making can be used as either a book cover or as a signature in a sewn book, and other pieces include hidden pockets. Structures include the Blizzard Book, Fishbone Binding, and Diagonal Pocket Folder. Each participant will leave class with a completed set of 6 books and a basic knowledge of folding and bookbinding technique. You will receive a detailed handout and resource list for all materials we use. Experience in origami is helpful, but not required.
Instructor will send out material kit prior to your workshop.
