Captivate readers with this dynamic structure. A seemingly simple codex – which is actually two accordions attached together – opens delightfully to reveal three hidden rooms when the center page is pulled open. Each “room” provides an intimate space for showcasing your illustrations, photographs, collages, etc. This versatile book structure is appropriate for both beginners and experienced bookmakers. 

Materials to Bring: collage materials, rubber stamps and stamp pads, drawing pens, or pencils, any materials you use for markmaking.

Optional and available at SFCB for student use during workshop:  bone folder, awl, needle, utility knife, metal ruler, cutting mat, scissors, pencil.

Workshop Fee (includes $10 materials fee): $90.00
