Masks are no longer required for workshops, though anyone is welcome to wear one if they wish.

Accordion notes are a different kind of music. Not your standard text or accordion, these cards and books exist in three dimensions.

Instead of using pencils or nibs, students will learn to make letters by cutting and folding their shapes and will then incorporate them into handmade cards and small accordion folded books. Everyone will leave with a small collection of notecards and books to pass on to friends and family.

>> Prerequisite: None <<

Materials to Bring: All tools and materials will be provided. 

Date & Time: Sunday, October 13, 2024 :: 1-5pm

Location: 375 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94103

NOTE: Please read over the SFCB Registration Policies before signing up for a class. Registration will close approximately three days prior to the start date of the workshop to allow the instructor time to prep materials for class. We recommend you not wait to register, as workshops that don't meet our minimum enrollment will be canceled, sometimes as much as a week in advance.
