Workshop Fee (includes materials fee): $140

Developed in the Renaissance for studying perspective, the tunnel book is sometimes called a 'peephole book.' It is truly an adapted accordion with multiple panels bound on both sides, to be viewed from the front giving it a 3-D effect.

Students will collage the various layers out of their own postcards and photos to create a unique and personalized book. After attaching the pages to the accordion fold that holds them, the tunnel book will be glued into a simple cover for a more finished look.

>> Prerequisite: None <<

Materials to Bring: Several postcards (landscape orientation), old pictures, and/or magazines to cut up for images.

Date & Time: Saturday, April 19, 2025 :: 9:30am-5:30pm

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.
