This is a single session online workshop.

Learn how to convert your odds and ends into an artful accordion book. This workshop is all about the joy of construction and collage. 

Students will learn how to choose an inspiring theme for their book, reuse old greeting cards, artwork, and other mixed-media materials, and construct and collage the pages and covers. We'll incorporate pop-ups, pockets and fold-outs.  Molly will share tips and techniques for producing a polished and inspired final design.

Pro Tip: think about who this creation might be for... will it be inspirational quotes and pages you're making for yourself? Will it be a baby book? A family album? Maybe for someone's birthday?  

Workshop fee includes a mailed kit containing the structural materials needed to complete one book. US students only, please, due to shipping costs. Non-US students, please contact us before enrolling; we will share a materials list for you to source your own content.
