Use this visually intricate structure of opposing “flags” or flaps to create a one-of-a-kind book that showcases contrasting or cohering images and text. This stunning structure was created by Hedi Kyle and has infinite possibilities. The book “claps” open, and pages can be read individually or all at once when the accordion spine is stretched to its full panoramic landscape. The Flag Book workshop will make this seemingly complex form easy to learn for any level of book-arts practitioner.

Materials to Bring: Bone folder, scissors, and personal ephemera (image and text) to be included in the book.

Workshop + Materials fee: $150.00

Date & Time: Sunday, August 9, 2015 | 9:30am-5:30pm
